    you should check the voltage of the ac adapter. it is possible it is broken.

    if it tests good, check the dc jack to see if it is loose.

    if the dc jack feels loose, pull out the battery and slowly move the ac adapter pin around in the dc jack, trying to find a spot that will power it on. If you are able to power it on in some spots and not others the dc jack is bad and needs to be replaced.

    BTW, there is no Satellite Pro L20.
