My screen suddenly went black while watching a YouTube video. I tried to press power, escape, anything to make it a smaller screen. Then I pressed the play/pause button and could hear the video. Then the whole computer turned off- keyboard darkened. I’ve tried holding the power button 10 seconds, etc. nothing is working. It’s been two days. It makes the charging sound when plugged in but that’s it. It won’t start up.
