M17x-R4 won't turn on; Charger ring blinks and laptop beeps with blinking
I was on my laptop and out of nowhere it shut off. It won't turn on and nothing I am trying will fix it. The charging ring is constantly on when not plugged into the laptop; however when I plug into the laptop it begins to turn on then fade to off and repeats. A faint beeping is also heard from the laptop when the charger is plugged in. The beeping is at the same rate as the blinking charger light. I have tried power draining and both the charger and the battery are working. This laptop was purchased in 2012 so I understand it is old and could be on its last legs, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is and/or knows how to fix it because the laptop worked fine until just now.

Hi,
Try with another AC (if possible), also try removing the video card, if the same happens, then the motherboard will be the issue.
