Hello, so this morning I tried to turn on my laptop, but it completely failed to turn on, heres what happens. When I click the power on, the power light lights up, and the keyboard LED lights turn on, but the hard drive and screen doesn't load up, and about a minute or 2 it turns off. 

 

One thing to note is that when putting on the charger, the charging indicator doesn't light up, even though it's actually charging. 

 

Is there any way I can fix/troubleshoot it, or is the motherboard completely fried?

You could start by removing any optical drive, SSD and HDD from it and seeing if it then is able to enter BIOS. If it still doesn't, remove the battery as well and try again.

Tried doing all that, same result. I even tried connecting it to an external monitor, nothing.

Do you have another laptop or a buddy so you could test the RAM-sticks as well?

Tried it, still the same. 

One thing I didn't say, is that the left hinge (where the monitor cord comes from) is broken, I don't know if it affected the monitor cord or not. 

Can a faulty monitor cord cause that?

Sure, if it's causing a short-circuit. If e.g. the frayed strands inside the cord are touching, that'd be a short-circuit and it could've even fried the mobo. I think you should disconnect the display completely and see what happens with an external one.
