My laptop is not able to turn on or even charge.The charger is working fine as the LED on the charger is turned on.I have tried different ways of turning on such as holding the power button for 1 minute but to no avail.Laptop model is Lenovo Y460.

Well, it could be the charger and the battery, or it could be a device that won't work without the battery in (and if dead). It could be the device is not getting the power (even if charger is working) or it could be a host of other issues. Without going through them one at a time there would be no sure way to tell. You could, however, take it to a local tech and have them look at it. Or, if under warranty, contact the manufacturer.
Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. Unplug your charger cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
5. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop. You may also want to try charging it when the device is off, rather than on. If it works then, the cord is probably the issue.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.
