    My coworker has given me his daughter's laptop to see if I can get it to turn work. It won't turn on, and there is no battery light indicating that it recognizes the AC adapter. The adapter itself has the yellow power light, so I doubt it's a bad AC adapter.

    Has anyone else had a problem like this, and hopefully has a solution? All I can find are people with bad batteries/bad AC adapters... I am worried I will have to take it apart to fix the issue.

    I would try;

    - Using a multimeter and testing your current AC adapter
    - A known good 65 watt AC adapter
    - Removing the battery and AC adapter and holding down the power button for 30 seconds 2-3 times

    After that sounds like a power circuitry issue with your motherboard. Is your G560 still under Lenovo warranty?
