All I can suggest is to pull the battery and leave it unplugged for 10 minutes.

Sorry if this sounds obvious but I've mistakenly done it... Check that you haven't left a CD or DVD in the drive, it could be trying to boot off that instead of your hard disk. Likewis a floppy or USB external.
Can you get into BIOS? If so also check boot order there.

Sounds like the motherboard may have "gone south".

Sorry I miss understood your post before, you might also try using the power supply alone without any battery installed at all, I had a similar problem with my old HP. The battery had failed and hogged all the current from the power brick (which got very hot). Laptop ran fine without any battery at all and again fine with a replacement battery.
Good luck with it.

Yup..99.9% sure it's the battery...take it out and run just off of AC power.
