Aloha everyone, sad news. My laptop finally bit the dust this past week, and this morning more specifically. The laptop will not turn on with the power button. However, if I put the charger in (which was working last night), the blue light stays on (indicating that the laptop is fully charged, blinking I believe means charging). Even with the cord plugged into the wall and into the laptop, or removed from the wall but still in the laptop, or fully unplugged, the computer does not turn on.

Interestingly, the week before, the WiFi adapter card wasn't working, more specifically the Killer Wifi 6AX1650i 160mhz wireless adapter card wouldn't stay on. Periodically, it would turn on indiscriminately. Sometimes if I did a network reset and windows update, or did a restart and wired connection, sometimes if I manually went into the KillerControlSense and turned on the wireless "Xtend"er button.

The culprit? I was using the laptop at high energy on a blanket (rarely do that), but didn't put it to sleep. I thought I shut it off, but I returned to my bedroom after eight hours to find it super hot, which I prompted me to elevate it, put on full fans on max turbo mode, and then keep using it for an hour, on WiFi, and charging.

My only assumption is that after three years of heavy usage on a wooden surface (and recently last night on my blanket), that I may have melted or sparked something in the motherboard, or perhaps clogged it, or just didn't update the Bios and WiFi card (which I had thought I had did…)

I am to take off the backboard and try to find a reset button, or reseating some components and getting a closer look.

Any help before I send this to the repair shop?
