Try removing the battery, then with the battery removed press the power on button on and off for about 30 seconds, put battery back in and see if it starts charging.
Probably a stupid question but is your brightness turned all the way down?
Not really; when it first happened I was just using the laptop normally. Then the screen got black out of the blue. I tried turning up the brightness while the laptop was still on, but then it powered itself off. Now I cannot even power it on (yes, power cable is plugged)
Do you have another charger? It sounds like it possibly is not charging. I have had a device's motherboard fail from fully draining the battery but it's better to not go to the worst case scenario first
