Use a voltmeter to check that there is 19.5V DC on the charger plug. A green light on the charger doesn’t necessarily mean that there is a voltage output getting to thelaptop as the charger’s cord/plug could be faulty.

If possible try using another known working compatible charger and check if the laptop works.

Use the Voltmeter to check if the voltage from the charger is getting to the motherboard.
