AC Adapter doesn't charge and computer is dead

Hello,
I have been having some trouble. This morning my computer was low on battery so I plugged it in. My laptop only sporadically indicated that it was receiving power. After trying many times to get it to stay charging my computer went dead. I can't get it to charge any more. Also, the green light in the charger is on. What should I do?

Unplug the system, disconnect the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec.  Remove and reinstall the memory module(s).

Plug in the adapter only - no battery.  If the system will power up, but not with the battery connected, the battery is bad. Replace it with a new one.

If the system won't power up with a good AC adapter after the foregoing reset procedure, the mainboard is bad.

The same thing is happening to me, what did you end up doing?

One would hope that the other person followed the troubleshooting steps.
