@happysingh - remove the battery and try to power on computer directly connected to magsafe. You may need to perform SMC reset if magsafe light is not green. Could be bad power button on keyboard (liquid damage), bad battery or bad logic.

Eric should Happy try for a spontaneous reboot by disconnecting both the mag-safe and the battery then reconnecting? An explanation or link to how to do a SMC would help this answer.
