    Does it boot on battery?

    The fact that the adapter turns off suggests it detects an electrical problem with the laptop's power circuits, and turns itself off to prevent frying the laptop (or the adapter itself).

    If (on battery) you get any power at all in the laptop, you could try the suggestions in my No-POST item of my Tips and Tricks thread.
