    take the battery out, then hit FN ESC and the power button (while it is plugged in)

    try that :p

    sounds like your motherboard is dead. I had a similar problem and I called tech support and they came out and replaced it.

    Your motherboard is dead. If the blue light on the charger goes out (there's maybe a popping sound when you plug it in?) it means the charger shorted, which means that there's something on your motherboard that's shorting the charger. Whatever it is it isn't good for your charger.

    It also means your laptop is probably hosed without a motherboard replacement or some very good soldering skills.
