Dead Laptop

My laptop is about a year old, not used often. When I tried to turn it on, I could get nothing - not even the bootup check and the friendly beep.... Recharged overnight, with same result. Turn on whilst connected to the mains - same result. The only thing I can get out of it is a green light showing connection to the mains. Hard drive does not start up, nor does the LED labelled HDD glow.
Any thoughts? Is there an internal battery like the one in a desktop, that may need replacing? Does anyone know where my kids have put the manual that came with the laptop?
