Battery dead? As in your battery could’ve gone through so many cycles it won’t recgarge anymore and could need to be replaced.

I disconnected the battery from board,still nothing
Bring it into a repair shop, it’s a little too hard to help you with something online with little information and a sudden problem. You could also have a dead logic board. Sorry, can’t help much online

assuming your using an 85W charger

and the machine is completely dead

then quite likely Capacitor C7771 on the logic-board went bad, when it does it pulls a main voltage rail to ground causing the machine to become a potato/ie not boot up or do anything at all, its a relatively common issue with the 2008-2009 MCP79 based 15 and 17 inch MBPs...

if you replace C7771 then the machine will boot up again.
