I have a Dell Latitude 5480 that just won't power on, and I've verified that the charger is new and there doesn't seem to be any visible damage without opening it up. I'm hoping to keep this laptop, so I'm wondering if it's worth replacing the battery to see if that fixes the issue, or if I should just bite the bullet and buy a new laptop. Any advice would be appreciated!

If you've already tried the reset and it's still not working, it might be worth looking into a battery replacement. Sometimes a dead battery can prevent the laptop from starting up, even when plugged in. But if that doesn’t fix it, you might need to consider getting a new laptop.
First thing you might want to try is unplugging the power adapter, holding down the power button for about 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in before trying to turn it on again. Sometimes this helps reset things for laptops in this situation.
