Try removing the battery and powering it up plugged into the wall with battery out. (put it on a hard surface not your lap when doing this).

Is this a new or old laptop? Sounds like you might have a short. If your laptop savvy you can take it apart and look for fried capacitors.

its another forum but i ran across this thread too maybe it helps.
