I bought a new battery and it worked fine until the battery was drained (less than a day). I also bought a new ac adapter as well, but the battery still won't charge.

Hello,
If the battery won't charge and the laptop won't turn on but the ac adapter works with other laptops, then the problem is the port where you plugin the ac adapter. Some of the laptops has it built in to the motherboard. So you might need to have it repaired by a technician. Or if the laptop is still in warranty, you might need to send it to the manufacturer to have it repaired or replaced. But if the laptop works without the battery, or it will turn on but the battery indicator is not lighting up, you're facing one of these problems.
1. The battery itself is dead.
2. the battery bay is loose
3. the battery itself is loose
Hope this helps...
Remove the AC cord and the battery from the notebook. Re-attach battery and AC cord and power up the notebook. This will clear the Ram memory and force the operating system to "Cold Boot", in other words start the operating system loading up from the beginning instead of resuming from Ram the last time it was active. This proceedure should restore your Gateway Notebook to normal operation. Post back your results and good luck.
I have the very same problem, the Drive light turns red, the screen is "black" and the battery charging light indicator on the front is off. No differance if I'm traying to power up on battery or AC-adapter.
Before this problem appeared I had problems where the laptop was powering off, with no warning, and I had to restart it. This happened several times and was going on for about a week before it died totally. Can it be the CMOS battery on the mother board? Anyone having clue what the problem could be?
It sounds like it might be overheating. Take some canned air and try blowing it out wherever you see vent/fan holes. Also unscrew any covers and blow out the air this way also.
if still having problems you probably need to replace battery
you can take the battery to a small repair shop and usually they will test it for you on the spot at very little or no cost
Please rate me
and let me know if you still have problems
If it's still under warranty, it's definitely worth repairing. If not, get them to quote for the repair they say it needs before agreeing to it. If their quote is anything close to the current price, I would say it's not worth it.
Gateway 450ROG CMOS BatterySmall internal battery that maintains calendar and clock settings.
PLEASE NOTE:
This is not the battery that powers your laptop; it only maintains
certain internal settings. If you need a main battery, please refer to
the page on our web site for your laptop model.
CMOS batteries
are located on the motherboard; if you are not comfortable with the
inner workings of your laptop, you may want to consider having the
battery installed by a qualified technician.

Sounds like a voltage regulator. Have the system diagnosed at a repair shop. Sorry I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but is probably the correct answer.
