Default PCG-984L Sony Viao Laptop Will not turn on, no lights, ac plug been replaced

Does it have to have a battery in order to turn itself on while
connected to the wall jack?

Bad battery. Most modern laptops will exhibit symptoms of being
totally dead if the 'smart' battery is in fact bad. I would start with
a new or known good battery.
