You seem to have already ruled out a lot of components, and I'm guessing you also tried to boot it up without the battery installed, just to be sure it wasn't causing any problems. The two likely components left are the power board (sometimes called the power jack board) and the motherboard. The power board is by far the cheaper option. I would try that first. If it's not the power board then it's likely the motherboard, in which case a new laptop might be a more attractive option than paying for the motherboard to be repaired or replaced.
