So it was an issue with the cord? With me, the power brick is what burned out. The indicator light turned from green to red and it started emitting this weird buzzing sound. A death buzz....

Good thing I already had my new laptop, or there would have been a few term papers that I couldn't complete that week. I think the old one is in my closet somewhere, I'm only saving it until I get the rest of my stuff off of it (which may be never, considering I don't want to shell out for a new power cord for a laptop I won't be using again).
