Maybe dead laptop

[slavman]

Half way through a war thunder match (fairly high load but nothing unusual) my acer nitro 5 (10th gen i5 and a 1660ti) just died unexpectedly, no blue screen and the power indicators are off, will it be worth trying anything or should I get a new laptop? Any help is good im pretty mythed rn

is there any life from the laptop ?

What troubleshooting steps did you take? I take it that you tried plugging it in?

None of the usual signs, there’s an indicator for power status which is always on

That means jack, plugging it in actually makes a difference sometimes. Go through the usual steps I would say

does it do anything at all when on battery and you try to turn it on? even a light or anything
what about when plugged in
do you have any means of checking that the charger is functional?
 

I think my next step would be to disconnect the battery and reconnect it and try to power it on again. If no change then I would disconnect it again and leave the battery disconnected, then plug in the ac adaptor and try to power the laptop on.

I understand that this laptop has an internal battery and some disassembly is required. If you feel comfortable with it though, there is a guide on ifixit with a few pictures that would be helpful.
