I used a higher volt charger for my laptop but immediately I tried plugging it there was a spark so I stopped the processes immediately, then I used a lower volt charger now it indicated charging but not charging and now it won't boot even after using the right charger.
 
You should never use a charger that isn't the right voltage for the device. You may have fried something. Especially if there was a spark.
