My laptop isn't turning on sometimes, I tried rebooting it like everyone does but it doesn't seem to do the thing. I went and clean the fan and everything and I tried to unplug the white white wire that was connecting the battery to the board and plugged in the charger to see if it will on and it did. It was fine for a couple of days but after three days, the it reverted back to its problem which is not turning on. I did the same thing again but this time it won't do the trick. So i left it be and thought maybe I just need some power in the board since if i plugged the charger it will still charge and if I will press the power button, it will still on but the keyboard isn't lighting up. but this morning when I tried to turn it on it did turn on so I am confused as to what is the problem. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

    Your Nitro laptop symptoms are either with its EC chip that keeps freezing and/or is shorting out and its on its way out or the ram, do a proper hard reset first, if that doesn’t fix your issue then take your laptop to a technician near you, so that they can pinpoint the exact fault of your laptop which imo is either the main power rail or the EC chip that needs replacing and reprogramming for you Nitro laptop. Btw this has happened to my AN515-56 Nitro and this is how ai fixed it with a hard reset. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    Hard Reset - remove the lower case. Disconnect the main battery cable from the MB and take the main battery out. then disconnect the RTC/BIOS battery and then short the bios batteries + & - pins to reset CMOS at the mainboard plug and then take the ran out.

    Leave the laptop like that for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight) and then reconnect everything, if you have 2x ram modules, only connect 1x ram module and alternate the two ram modules and see if its not the ram that is faulty, as the laptop should turn on and boot properly after this hard reset.
