HFS for Windows might work too.
It is possible your MagSafe adapter is busted and your Mac battery is dead. Maybe you should check that out before doing anything desperate.

How old is the Mac? Is it still under warranty?
The charger light should be on when you press the keys.
It's possible that the pins on the charger connector aren't working. One of the problems of Mac chargers is that the little tiny springs break and the pins no longer connect to the laptop. Check if that's the case. You can usually tap the ends of the connector on a hard surface and make the pins come out. Then you can carefully connect the plug.
If that's not the case then the battery or the charging circuit might be bad.
