Possibly, check that the battery is properly connected. Some laptops verify the battery is there before booting. Also, is there any power indicator on the power supply?

Well, unfortunately, I have two possibilities for you. Either the system board is dying (my Dell Inspiron 600m needs pressure in just the right spot to boot) or you have a system that uses the battery to stabilize the power supply, and have a bad battery.
