If you take out the battery on the back of your laptop you will see a sticker on the battery itself or the underneath the battery with 18v-4.5watts or something similar. the power adapter you use has to be the same voltage and wattage (or within a .5 difference).
If the charger you used was higher it could have blown the laptop. If it was lower then it should be okay.
Sorry to hear about your laptop. It sounds like the battery may need to be replaced. Older laptop batteries will loose the ability to hold a charge as time goes on.
Here are some things to try:
1) Remove the battery from the notebook and try booting up with just the power adapter plugged into the notebook. If the notebook boots then the power adapter is working fine. If the notebook does not boot then the power adapter is no good and needs replaced.
2) With the battery in the notebook, and the notebook off, leave the power adapter plugged into the notebook for a few hours or over night and see if the battery charges.
