Ive removed the battery a/c power let it set for a very long time then put battery back in added A/C still nothing. I'm lost im usually good at these things. Please help she is freaking out.

that is a dead motherboard i think. if you are critically after the data in that hard drive, may i suggest you buy an external sata drive docking station. its very cheap and insert your samsung hdd on it and transfer it to your desktop for the meantime.that would be much faster and easier to do, just remove the hdd from the laptop.
