For this model, the use of tools to get access to the batteries should not be necessary. The PowerShot A480 makes the use of two AA batteries for its power source. There are rechargeable AA batteries available. So the first thing to check if it is not receiving a charge from the adapter, is whether the batteries installed are the type that are rechargeable. Replacing the batteries is a necessary task in order for the camera to power up and operate correctly.

Locate the battery door at the underside of your camera and orient it so that the door points to the right.
Gently apply downward pressure to the right edge of the door and slide to the right.
Once you hear an audible click, lift up the bay door in the opposite direction till the batteries are fully exposed.
