Push the test button on the battery to see how many lights come on.
Four is a near-full battery, one flashing is a near-discharged battery.
Is the sleep light pulsing? If so, you may have ran the battery down
until it went to sleep on you.
If you're sure its not asleep, does pressing the power button yield a
startup chime? Does the caps lock key light up? When my processor card
was unseated, the caps lock key would light up, but nothing else would
happen.
If you have a multi-meter, try testing the output of the adapter. I had
a yo-yo die on me without warning and without any outward damage.
