Is there a power light on the adapter?
If the laptop has been discharged for a while, plug it in and leave it alone for at least 15min before trying anything.
What happens if you remove the battery and try to boot? (some allow it, some don't)
I'm heading off to an appointment but will be back in a couple hours.
