I'm having some serious trouble with my MSI Modern series laptop, which I bought back in 2020 or 2021. It's been really reliable up until now, but suddenly, it won't power on at all. When I plug in the charger, there's a small light indicating it's charging, but after a couple of hours, nothing has changed. I've tried a few different troubleshooting methods I found online, including disconnecting the power, holding down the power button for 30 seconds to reset it, and even using a needle to press the reset button underneath, but no success. I've read that it could potentially be a monitor issue, but I'm sure it's the laptop itself that's not turning on. Any further troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated!

It might be a battery issue. If you're comfortable with it, you could try opening up the laptop and unplugging the power cable. Then, plug the charger back in and see if it starts up that way.
This happened to my laptop too, and it turned out to be a problem with the main board. I ended up just getting a new laptop. I'm not much help, but I’m here to see what others suggest as well.
A common fix is to check the RAM. Try using one stick at a time in different slots to see if that does anything. If you have two sticks, swap them around; sometimes it can be as simple as a bad connection.
I'm not very familiar with how to do that. Can you suggest something I should Google or YouTube for tutorials?
