Alright, So my Acer Aspire 5534-1121 just quit working, the charger light doesn't seem to come on, and the charger seems to not even get warm. So I went on eBay and bought a new charger, It will come on Friday. I haven't used the laptop in while, I stopped using it around the end of October, Then I tried to turn it on over the weekend, and it didn't turn on,It was stored in a room temperature room, without water.
Is it the charger that was the problem? Or is it something else?

Yes, I've had burned out chargers multiple times. Even if this isn't the problem with your specific case, which I'm sure it is as the charger light isn't coming on, then it's the cheapest first solution you could've tried.
A tip in case you already aren't doing so; Unplug the charger (at least the chord that connects to your computer) from the chord that runs to the outlet when your computer isn't on or your computer has been charged to full. Keep it unplugged until your laptop gets low (I wait til about 20%) to charge back up.

3 months ago, I was gaming on my laptop (Mafia II, Assassin Creed: Brotherhood) and suddenly it went off. I tried the hard shut down and started it again. And suddenly the screen went off with a blink and after that the laptop didn't start. I plugged the charger into electricity and the charger was fine and as soon as I plugged it in my laptop it went off. After many failed attempts, I took it back to the shop and they gave me a new one (was still in warranty period) and told me that the motherboard had burnt. Now I wish that isn't the case with you.

Mostly due to power failures. The first question they asked me when they came to know it was dead was, "Did you have your charger plugged in when it died." Other cases might be due to dust, excessive heating etc. If you use a Pentium 4 to run GTA IV, that's what you get. But since mine was i5, they came to the conclusion that it was due to excessive heating due to dust. I always had heating issues with this laptop (N5110).
EDIT: Forgot to say it might also happen due to rise/fall in voltage which is common in our country. We don't have electricity for 5+ hours in a day (not simultaneous 5+ hours, example for 2 hours we have electricity then for 1 hour we don't have electricity). So during this time we use generators (convert petrol to electric power) to get electricity. That also causes high voltage.

Try another power supply, is there still any battery left? If you can get a working charger, try booting without the battery in.

Also a lot of times it's faulty equipment. You can't expect the same result 10,000 times without at least one failure.
