try taking out the battery and just plug in the laptop directly to the A/C adapter and see if you can get the laptop to turn on. If not then there's probably something wrong with your mobo. Send it back to the manufacturer if it's still under warranty and that's the case.

I dunno about you but I'd consider that to be NOT working

oh and btw, 90% of computer repair shops will NOT work on laptops.

common problem with dells and compaqs you have to replace the power supply or just the power supply inlet in most cases. 2 hours labor plus parts.

mine did that TWICE. SOny Viao. The first time the soldering came off the A/C plug in prohibiting the battery from charging. Fixed under warranty. The second time, I tried turning it on, no fans no nothing, sent it in, supposedly liquid damage to the mobo. Not covered under warranty, $1200 fix. Anyone want a Vaio laptop fr parts?
