Why Won't My Computer Charge?

I have tried on two different batteries to charge this device with its original charger and other chargers as well. The light indicating that it is charging will not turn on, and I have no clue why. I have thousands of important files on this laptop that I need to access yet I cannot!

It sounds like charging is not the issue. There's likely another hardware issue preventing the PC from turning on. The motherboard is a likely suspect. I recommend having the laptop looked at by a local PC repair shop.
