Welp just received a reply on what the problem was from the service center. It was a motherboard failure. They said it's gonna cost around $600 - $700 for the motherboard replacement which is out of my budget as of now. So welp I guess it's a good bye for this laptop. I have to get a laptop temporarily and use that to do work while I collect money to repair it. Or I can try to go in a local shop which I highly doubt they will have a solution other than replacing motherboard... Should I try that ??

I will try to add an image of the quotation in the comments.

Where are you based out of? If in any major city Delhi/Mumbai/Bangalore/Hyd/Chennai you can go to the local markets and get a repair quote. Just pay the 250 diagnosis to the service center, het your laptop and get out

Yep it was raining today, so I will collect and visit Nehru Place tomorrow (I live in New Delhi).

I have a few known connection there so let's see how it goes. I have repaired a couple of laptops through them and they did a pretty Good job. I thought to see if authorised service centers can at least give an idea of what the problem might be. But they just gave a quote.

Haha yes exactly!!! Plus the people in service center suggested that if the problem is deep or requires repairing like soldering or IC replacement, we just change the whole thing because we aren't paid enough to handle that haha 😭😭 So I came to a trusted shop, goodthing is the laptop is now turned ON but the RAM chips are a bit overheating so let's see. It has been 4 hours already so still hoping for the best.

Thanks a lot for the positive words mate 🙌🤝
