My laptop wont turn on or charge
Let's rule out the charger.
Find a multi-meter and check the voltage. It should be listed on the power supply what the output is. For instance, I have Dell that outputs 19.5v.
You can find a multi-meter at Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, etc. Just plug the red lead into the center of the end of the cable and the black one onto the metal 'barrel' surrounding the power supply 'jack'.
Your multi-meter should be set to 200v DC.
If your power supply is outputting near the output it should, your power supply is probably good and it is going to boil down to a bad DC input on the mainboard of the laptop.
