I have 2 Gateway laptops that have the same problem. One is a MX6447 and the other is a MT6451. They both won't power on. Both laptops have brand new batteries and new AC adapters.

When the laptops are plugged in there isn't any lights anywhere on the keyboard lighting up. These laptops are just about a year old. I have tried reseating the batteries and I have also tried powering them on without the batteries installed and still no good.

One thing that I did find that is weird on both is that when I pop the batteries out there is actually a little battery power button that can be pushed in to show the battery charge but I am getting no lights on that.

So it looks like the batteries aren't being charged. Still I would think that these laptops should turn on with just the ac adapters hooked up with no batteries installed. Is there anything else I can try?
