You'll need to find out if there is power to the compressor? I have had several this year that have had broken wires in the harness near the high pressure switch. Most places will have a/c performance tests for a reasonable fee. It may be worth having it checked out. Once you know what is wrong you can then decide if you are comfortable making the repairs yourself or not.
It is not uncommon for these to be leaking out of various parts. Most a/c repairs will run anywhere from $100 to over a $1000.
