Try root pruning it, cut off about an inch of the roots, this will stimulate new root gorwth, also cut back the top branches by about an inch, this will do the same up top, if it has dried out, then cut off all the dead parts, to see if it is dead, scrape back soem ofthe bark with either your nail or a small penknife, if it green, then it is alive, if bornw, it is dead good luck

We need to know the symptoms. What is wrong with the tree?

Most bonsai trees require damp soil but with adequate drainage, if it's in really bad shape you may need to uproot it and replant it in some good rich soil. good luck
