    I don't think so. The battery works great when I unplug the power adapter. I just can't turn it on.

    Try booting without the battery on - just the power cable,
    then shut down (or hibernate),
    then remove the power cable,
    then put the battery on,
    then switch it on.

    If it does not work try again and if still does not work then I don't know.
