Black Screen and no boot on start up

We had a storm and my Internet modem made a pop sound. I smelled a burnt rubber smell and the modem went dead. My laptop was connected and also connected to a monitor. The laptop was working, but there was no signal to the monitor so I decided to reboot the laptop. The burnt smell came from the modem which has since been replaced. When I attempted to restart the laptop the screen remained black, fan was quietly running, and it shutdown after 30 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen and no beeps or sounds. The only led lights on are the power button, orange wifi button, power light, and adapter light.

I have cleaned the fan and changed the thermal paste, removed RAM cards and tried starting with one card, followed troubleshooting suggestions with pressing on power button for 30 seconds after removing battery and power adapter.

I am having a difficult time with trying to edit the original message, but I wanted to add that the laptop only stays on for 25 seconds with the black screen then automatically shuts off. Also no luck

This computer is only 1.5 yrs old and off warranty. Very disappointing. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I do not have a technical background, but I am good with instructions.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
