As loudnproud59 suggested... have your adapter tested for the correct output voltage. Based on your post your unit shut down while you were using it. You plugged it in but no power indication can be seen (no LEDs light up). From this I think that you have a discharged battery and a good sign that you do not have external power (from AC).

A discharged battery is an indication that may be you were not running on AC power while you were using it. So given this situation a few things come to mind. First, your power adapter could probably be dead (no output voltage). Second, your DC jack is malfunctioning. Third, you have a malfunctioning component in the motherboard... and the list goes on.

Now before you jump into the most expensive solution, try what loudnproud59 advised to have your AC brick checked for output voltage. A new AC power brick is still cheaper than a battery or mobo from eBay.
