Sorry the laptops fried, the best thing you can do now is remove the hard drive and get your data from it if it still works.
buy a new laptop and sell yours for spares on ebay

Kind regards

Western Digital Scorpio WD5000BEVT Mobile Hard Drive - 500GB, 2.5", looks nice. I haven't seen any larger yet.

Try to remove the battery, remove AC adapter, and press and hold power button for 45 sec. reinsert battery, and Plug and try again, if that doesn't solve it, you may need to try to change memory first, (cheapest) or the motherboard or CPU.

Please give good rating if this helps your issue, Thanks

Ok, check it out. take off the RAM bay cover. Have the pc on a desk or your lap with the batt. facing you. Start at the far right corner. there are arrows by the screws. take them out moving to the left but stick you the forward portion of the laptop. buy the time you get to the cd rom, you should have about 10 screws. lift up the left corner and there she be. you should be able to pull it out without taking the whole thing off, but its up to you. Enjoy :)
