Hi, reseat the connector for the battery.

 

[Karlos208]

I'm sorry I don't no what you meen by that I have removed the battery and replaced several times

So, you verified that all the connectors are connected on the motherboard, you have no power from the battery or the adapter.

Yes I tried turning it on n withou the battery only adapter I tried holding power button while nothing is connected so far nothing

 

[jarotech]

Do you have a multimeter?

 

[Karlos208]

No

The only thing I can suggest, verify the adapter to see if it's working, also verify the DC jack if it's not moving with the adapter connected.

You just need to go over your work, you either did not connect something or broke something. No way to tell without looking at the laptop.
