Laptop not turning on. Power button light blinking. Fan starts, stops and repeats

Hi, 

My laptop is not turning on. When I'm plugging in the AC adapter, charging orange light is showing, but the power button white light keeps blinking every 5 seconds.

I opened the back cover as it's non removable battery. I disconnected the internal cable connecting to the battery and did hard reset. It did not work. The fan is starting, stopping and repeating the same process.

Battery is slightly bulged, but I don't think battery is the issue, since it should work after disconnecting the battery otherwise. 

Please help me someone. I have exam coming soon and I need my laptop to write the exam!!!
