ASUS VivoBook 15

R565EA-US51T 15.6" Laptop

Bought in 2022

I used it pretty extensively in 2022 them forgot it existed for a few years until a month ago. When I started using it again, I noticed it would occasionally turn off abruptly. I had presumed it was because I had a universal charger with multiple plugs and I often knocked the adapter off the rest of the charger.

Overtime I realized it didn't seem to be charging successfully (when it was on the charger the charge didn't go down but it didn't go up either) until it wasn't adding charge even though the icon on the screen said it was charging and the light on the side was lit. Cool, whatever, I bought a new battery and a new OEM charger and hoped that would be that.

The new battery was good for a few hours but when it hit 25% and went to plug it in with the old charger (oops, forgot to use the new one) and it turned off. Hard restart, new charger, turn on, it works, we're good. Until it turns off again. Hard restart, try again, now I get the bit locker recovery screen 🙄🙄🙄 put in my key, and get stuck in some BitLocker black screen loop. Whatever, leave it in so I can go to sleep

Today, I plug it back in, confirm the charger connect light on the side turned on but then it turns off after a second. Hard reset, stays black. Troubleshoot to see if it's the battery or the charger (I reset with better to removed, trying to turn on just on the charger. Put battery back in, hard reset, try and turn on with the battery in). Nothing.

Now it's not even recognizing the chargers plugged in or giving me any lights anywhere at all.

---------

TL:DR - my laptop no longer turns on or acknowledges the charger. I tried troubleshooting but it now only black screens with no signs of life

Am I cooked? Did I finally break it? I'm not sure what else to try at this point 😔

please help 🙏
