get a wiring diagram for the laptop and get a multi tester. beyond that it could be a fried motherboard that needs replacement

if you plug the power supply into the wall socket, does the LED turn on if the laptop is not connected to it?

Reply to Emerald

That would probably indicate a bad charger.

If you had a separate power supply you could test this. You can order an OEM replica from amazon for a pretty good price typically.

To test this, you could use a multimeter to see if your getting a charge from it. Just use the black contact on the outside of the metal and touch the inside of the charger plug with the red contact.
