I’m having an issue with a laptop that hasn’t been used in over a year. When I press the power button, the light comes on, the fans spin for 2–3 seconds, then everything shuts off. It repeats this cycle a few times. The screen stays completely black.
I’ve tried:
* Starting without the battery, just with the charger
* Holding the power button to drain static
* Removing and reinserting the SSD, also tried without it
* Entering BIOS, but it shuts off before I can get in
It shows that it’s charging when plugged in.
Any ideas on what could be wrong or what else I can try?
Thanks in advance!
