    any LEDs flashing at all?
    any LED on the adapter?
    take out battery and try and boot from ac adapter.
    connect an external monitor via VGA port to see if its the LCD
    hold down on/off button for 20 secs and try and boot again.

    what kind of laptop is it?
    any warranty left on it?
    could be dodgy power button.

    there are no LEDs on the adapter to begin with and i don't have an external VGA monitor to experiment with. :(
