    Have you replaced the battery in the 7 years? If not, that is probably why the laptop won't boot, I recommend getting a new battery first and if still booting issues do the procedure below: https://www.laptopbatterydirect.net/acer/acer-predator-15-g9-593-battery.htm

    Power drain, SODIMM slots check + CMOS reset: Open the back of the laptop and disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. Locate the CMOS module (with 2 twisted wires Red and Black under the battery) and remove the coin battery. Shorten the +/- contacts inside the CMOS capsule for 2 seconds with a bended paperclip and put the coin battery back with the + sign facing up, close the CMOS capsule. Unseat and firmly insert the 2 DDR4 modules in the 2 slots. Next, press the Power Button on the keyboard for 10-15 seconds after that reconnect the battery cable to the motherboard. Close the laptop, plug-in the adapter and try to boot.

    You're welcome, some laptops will run when the battery is disconnected, the problem is with BIOS and MS ACPI battery control also Power Plan will switch to energy saver at some point and turn off the adapter resulting in a crash and data loss, not worth the risk for $46. 😉
