Owned by my gf, she's taken very good care of it and still looks new

Yesterday however, upon plugging in the brick, no lights come up on the laptop, the brick itself has a light showing on it.

Has anyone had a brick that lights up, but fails to work?

It's out of warranty, have tried removing the battery and it won't power on when the battery is out and just the brick is plugged in (this would work fine in normal operation)..

Possibilities..
a. the brick is broken
b. the laptop connection is broken

-The battery has about 3% charge left in it, so the laptop is working besides that

Options?

Would rather not have to get a new laptop, as she only uses it for college work, but I've told her it's possible we might have to.
