This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:

1. Take off bottom case

2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg

3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds

4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up

5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up

6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)
