Unfortunately most manufacturers do not warranty AC adapters and batteries for laptops because they know these devices will eventually break. Do any of the power or 'charging' indicator lights come on when you plug the AC adapter in? One simple troubleshooting step you can try is to remove the AC adapter and battery, press the power button a few times, reseat the battery and adapter and try to power the laptop back on.
Sounds like nothing but I've seen it bring previously deemed DoA laptops back to life!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
