So my laptop does not want to turn on. I plugged in the charger and the in charging indicator light won't even turn on. I bought a new charger and a new battery thinking that it might be a problem with either of those two things but the laptop still does not want to turn on or charge.

Hello 33cn33. I understand you're unable to get your notebook to power on.
Does the AC adapter have an LED on it? What color is it when you plug it in?
Have you tried performing a hard reset? This drains all residual power from the notebook and forces the hardware to reinitialize. Try the following.
- Ensure the notebook is powered off.
- Remove battery and AC power.
- Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds three time.
- Replace the battery and AC power.
- Attempt to boot notebook and note the result.
If the charging indicator isn't lighting up with a (good) AC adapter being used then it is possible the issue is the motherboard or the specific portion of the motherboard which handles power. It is possible that this is replaceable If you provide me with your product number I will look into it for you. This document can show you where it is located.
I hope you have a great day and I will keep an eye out for your reply.

Origion23,
It would seem the charging indicator light does not come on when the charger is connected. Have you already tried using a different charger to rule out the charger? It sounds like the charger may have failed. This would result in a drained battery and the unit not powering on. If you do not have one to test with, see if you can borrow one from a friend or visit a local PC shop to test with a charger there. In my area, local PC shops typically don't charge just to test out a charger but it may be different for your area.
