Battery/adaptor not working

My Dell Inspiron 67400 fails to power up when switched on even when the adaptor,  (65watt PA10 to PA12),  shows a green light when plugged into the mains but the light goes off when plugged into the laptop. Help! any ideas please?

You mistyped your model. Remove the battery and use just the adapter. If that works, leave the dead battery out. Replace the battery or just use it that way. If your laptop is old, save the money for a new one. Batteries cost over $100.

And you can check the compatible AC adapters and batteries for your computer on this link:

"All rechargeable batteries wear out with time and usage. As time and cumulative use increase, the performance will degrade. For the typical user, noticeable reduction in run time generally will be observed after 18 to 24 months. For a power user, reduction in run time generally may be experienced prior to 18 months. We recommend buying a new Dell notebook battery when the run time does not meet your needs."
