Does the battery charge when the PSU is attached to the player, but no playback functions active? (the scrolling bar on the top left of the display)?
If not (and i'm guessing not) then there could be a problem with the DC jack on the player, maybe its been wiggled around a bit, and that 13 year old solder now has a dry joint... try, with the PSU on and the battery in the case, moving around the jack plug whilst its in the socket, push down on it (although not too hard), push up on it, left, right, you get the idea... and if at any point, the little battery icon pops up, you're in business... and then just need to open up the player, and (fingers crossed) solder up a dry joint etc.
Although, worse case scenario, your D25S could be like my D311, where one of the regulators has gone, and now all I get is a whistling noise (quiet) out of the headphone output as soon as the batteries are inserted, and the unit is otherwise completely unresponsive...
