Unplug the AC adapter and verify that the LED on the DC plug is on. If it is not, the adapter is bad.
Remove the base cover, disconnect the battery from the mainboard and hold the power button for 30 sec. Disconnect all USB devices. Plug in the adapter only (no battery) and see if the system will power up. If it will, shut down, reconnect the battery and try again. If the system powers up, you're set.
If it will power up without the battery but not with it, the battery is bad.
If it won't power up on AC only with a good adapter, the mainboard is bad.
