You mentioned trying a different battery, try a different AC adapter.
When plugging in the ac adapter to the wall, see if the POWER LED comes on on the adapter, then when you connect it to the computer, see if the LED stays on.
If the issue occurs with both AC adapters (No battery installed) then the motherboard has failed. If one ac adapter works but the other doesn't then the adapter is bad

myabe the battery is faulty have you tried replacing it?
Testimonial: "Don't have an extra battery to test so was hoping the error was causing the battery not to charge. "
