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.

Chingmeister, Do the following:
-unplug the computer
-remove the battery
-Hit the power button no less than 30 times.
-Leave the battery out another two minutes or so
-put the battery back
-plug the computer in
-power on

Allegedly there is a capacitor within the computer that can retain a static charge, resulting in no power to the motherboard. This can happen to new or old computers. The above steps will discharge said capacitor.
