Thy running it for a day and pounding on the keyboard periodically. This may fuse some wires back together.

Agreed with Mr Harris on the personal details thing. Not good practice. I urge you to edit question and remove email address for your safety!
As to the problem, well, you did say "adapter", right? that implies a laptop/portable to me, so...batteries may have gone bye bye. take it into a local computer store and see if they can do a diagnostic.

Sounds like the PSU is dead and will need replacing.
As a first check swap the mains lead for another that you know is working - They are all the same - you might be able to use your printer cable as an example.
