    if you are getting no screen and the HDD doesn't continue to be active after the first 20 seconds... then your BIOS is not responding.. or else you have a hardware failure that is preventing the laptop from booting

    after removing the battery and ac power....
    i'd try removing the HDD and CD/DVD drive...
    then plug the AC back up and try to boot it....
    see what that does and report back
