What is your Predator laptops exact model number, it should be something like PHXXX-XX or PTXXX-XX or GX-XXX as there are many Predator model laptops, and these ON/OFF problems in certain laptops are model specific as just saying Predator is like saying Ford or a Chevy 🤣.

Anyway, you should do a Hard Reset first, take the main battery out, disconnect ct the bios battery and then short the + & - pins with a paper clip to reset the CMOS and then take the ram module(s) out too, leave the laptop with all its components disconnected for 1 hour and then reconnect all components (if you have 2x ram modules connect just 1x ram modules first) as doing all this will reset the Super IO chip and bios chip and in 99% of cases the laptop should boot.

If the above doesn't work then you have other causes of why your laptop is not booting which could be numerous and like, a battery problem, a charging problem or a primary power stage circuitry problem of either a capacitor or a mosat that has burned out which is restricting your lap[top from booting., which the best thing to do is to take your laptop to either Acer support or an experienced local technician that has experience in repairing high end gaming laptops.
