if you smelled that delicious blue smoke coming from the charging port, something got fried and laptops are never worth the trouble of troubleshooting. your laptop is almost certainly toast, and even if it does boot into os, I wouldn't risk it at all

Alright thanks. I'm not gonna plan on doing anything with it anytime soon anymore, as I'm planning on doing a XP build. Thanks much! I don't have to worry about it anymore.
