bio: Have you tried to turn it on while unplugged? You should be able to see if the battery is charged. you can see this in the battery settings in BIOS (enter setup/BIOS before windows starts... usually F2 or DEL) or by checking it through the windows power settings in control panel. If it's not charging/charged, then it's possible that you have a bad battery. The other possibility is that you need a motherboard replacement. Your brick is more-than-likely fine.
