Have you tried a different compatible adapter at all, you didn't say?
Is the AC Power adapter status light on the laptop blinking, solid (which colour?) or even on when the adapter is connected to the laptop?
If not on at all, it may be a problem with the DC-In jack and maybe the battery has been depleted because it couldn't be charged.
Before buying a battery you need to check if voltage is being applied to the motherboard by the charger.

On p.21 it shows how to test if the adapter’s output voltage is OK.

On p.60 it shows the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the systemboard so that the DC-In socket which is hard mounted on the board can be accessed and tested with an Ohmmeter to ensure that there is a good electrical connection between the input to the socket and the motherboard. Check if the socket feels “loose” on the board

Hi @pago ,

Is the AC Power adapter status light on the laptop blinking, solid (which colour?) or even on when the charger is connected to the laptop?
