Laptop not starting ... power trouble

So last night after I got home from work, I tried to turn on my laptop, the light came on for less than a second and then it turned off ... more of a flash ...

... I realized that the power cord had fallen out ...

... I plugged the power cord back in last night and tried to get it to charge ... removed the battery while the laptop was still plugged in, but it still would not turn on ... left it plugged in all day ...

... getting home from work, still the same thing, the light comes on for less than a second and then turns off ... either the battery is not charging, or the system is not taking power ...

... any thoughts out there on steps ... getting rid of it or buying a new at this moment in time is not the choice ... would rather try to get it to work for a few months at least ...

Thanks for your help.

Andy
