Hi,

Start by checking your AC adapter, use a multi tester to see if it's supplying enough voltage to power the laptop. You can also try another AC adapter just to be sure that it's the the charger that has the problem. If these doesn't work here are more troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Reseat the RAM, remove all the RAM for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure that they are all seated properly. Test your laptop if it will boot up once done with these steps.
-If it doesn't boot up, try booting up the laptop without the battery and see if it will load.
- If all these will not work I the problem lies on the motherboard due to the overheating problem.
