Once you press the power button on any laptop, multiple things need to function simultaneously for it to turn on. The battery, RAM, processor, and in some cases, even the charger needs to be working. The laptop will not turn on if even a single component suffers from damage or malfunctions.

Why My Acer Laptop Won’t Turn On?
A battery is the power source of any laptop. If it is not turning on, there is a high possibility that the battery or the charger is the culprit. But, things like damaged RAM modules and bent processor chips may also stop the laptop from turning on.
