    Removing the battery... so you opened up the unit I see.

    What about no battery, but power adapter connected, does it turn on then? I've seen A515-54s in which the cable that connects the screens got caught in the hinge and was being pinched at times, making the impression that the machine wouldn't boot because the screen would remain black when it actually was working. Check that the hinge is not pinching that cable either just in case.

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't a problem with the hinge for two reasons (1) It doesn't beep when i enable caps lock. (2) It won't work with an external monitor. Thanks for the help though.

    It was worth a shot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Do you get any color coded blinks of the power LED by any chance? Sometimes manufacturers encode error codes in sequences of color coded pulses.

    No the blue led in on when I press the power button and the orange led lights up when I plug it in. ;-;

    this happened to me on my acer nitro 5 multiple times for me i just hold power button for about 1 - 2 minutes and you should see the blue light turning on and off  and it will eventually turn on hopefully it works for you

    I think i'll just use the warranty and send it to get fixed, but thanks for the help ya'll.
