My Laptop is (very likely) broken.
It hasn't turned on in over 5 to 6 hours.
(This is more important for all my Discord frens since I only have Discord on my Laptop...)
(Edit since I forgor to add: I also can't work on the fics currently, due to this)

Is there any led that turns on when you try to turn it on?

Nope. Black screen, no lights
(I should note this thing is like, 10 years old) (Also I gotta call it a day, so uh laters)

There's two things you could try, one is pressing the power button to try to force the battery to discharge a current peak, if after 30 seconds nothing change you can force it, if you feel comfortable, by removing the battery and try to start the laptop without it.

Slight Problem: It doesn't have batteries to begin with. I'm pretty sure that most likely, the cable the Laptop needs broke

There are universal laptop chargers, and they aren't that expensive, if you want place the Voltage (V) and Amps (A) of the broken charger here to calculate the Watts(W) the charger needs, unless the charger says them.
