if you have or can borrow a voltmeter or multi-meter to check that the power adapter is outputting any voltage especially the correct voltage. they do die as had to get new ones for customers.

No I dont, but its not the charger, because the computer was fully charged. I had a lot of applications open while playing the game, like photoshop, skype, curse, and steam. I opened something and everything suddenly shut off...

remove main battery, disconnect power adapter from laptop, hold the power button down for a 20 count, re-insert main battery & press the power button on.

your motherboard crapped out. could be a short in the board or the cpu but I think it is on the power side of the motherboard because of charge light not being on.

it does not use an inverter as I had that issue with an old dual core acer laptop as the inverter shorted out causing no powerup..

is not a problem as your screen does not need 1 unless it is built into the motherboard which appears not.

I presume it is out of warranty & if so have you ever taken a laptop apart besides maybe smashing 1 out of frustration?

get it replaced under warranty. just remember you might loose your data unless they put your current drive into the replacement laptop.
