Hi,
When you say "….I know the battery is good….." how did you test this?
I'm wondering since you don't get any lights at all when plugging in the charger if there may be a problem with the DC-In jack (also known as the AC Adapter connector in the service manual), therefore no power into the laptop and the battery couldn't be charged and has gone flat.
Here's a link to the [link|https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_inspiron_laptop/inspiron-1564_service%20manual_en-us.pdf|service manual] for the laptop.
Click on the AC Adapter connector link at the top of the page in the manual to go to the relevant section which shows the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the connector.
When it is disconnected from the motherboard you can use an Ohmmeter to test it for continuity to make sure that it is OK.
If it is faulty here's a link to a [link|https://www.ebay.com/p/Genuine-Dell-Inspiron-1464-1564-1764-DC-Power-Jack-Cable-6K5PF-Dd0um3pb001/1709175462|supplier] of the part. It's shown just to give you an idea of the cost of the part. There are other suppliers who may suit you better.
Just search for ''Dell Inspiron 1564 DC-In jack part'' to get results.
