Unplug the battery does it start with the power cable only? is the light on the power adaptor? is the power adapter plug loose in the laptop? It sounds like there could be some physical damage to charging port or the laptop if you get no response and It will need somebody with electronic skills to investigate.
If it's confirmed dead, don't throw it away, they are worth good money as spare parts on ebay. Unfortunately there is little you can do if there are no lights and it's totally unresponsive it needs to be looked at by a professional.
Incidentally if it is dead, don't throw it away losing your precious data, remove the hard drive and fit it to a usb caddy so you can recover your data on the replacement system

Yes it should work even without a battery, sound like a hardware problem possibly in the motherboard.

It seems to be that CPU is overheating. I request you to check CPU fan speed. If needed replace the CPU FAN. it will fix the problem.
