Hey, all! I was really really hoping I wouldn't have to make a post this like, but, despite weeks of working on the issue, I don't have much of a choice.
The Tuesday I posted the previous update, my laptop was working perfectly fine. There wasn't the slightest sign of anything being wrong, and it shut down normally. Things got weird when I went to turn it on the following morning. The LED keyboard lit up, but the screen remained black no matter how long I waited. I eventually went with the obvious try of turning it off to turn it back on to see if that would fix it- except I couldn't even turn the laptop off. Holding down the power button just sent the fans into overdrive. Pressing the power again quieted the fans to their normal state. Now, the laptop's battery died completely about a month after I bought the laptop seven years ago. It hasn't been in the laptop since, so I was left with pulling out the adapter to turn the computer off that way. The adapter has accidentally been wiggled loose, forcing the computer off multiple times before with no issue. This time, unfortunately, after letting the laptop rest and putting the adapter back in the machine is now entirely unresponsive.
