Asus ZX50VW (similar to gl552) won't turn on or show the charging led

I put my laptop in my backpack, it had a 50% charge and was running perfectly fine, next thing I know it won’t turn on, and when I plug it in the charging LED doesn’t turn on. I tried a different power brick, one with the same connector and voltage, but that didn’t work. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the internal cmos battery, but that still didn’t help. I also tested the stock powerbrick with a multimeter and it seemed fine, but the battery use a weird connector that I couldn’t find which pin was positive and which was negative so I couldn’t test the battery. Any ideas on what I can do?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Take the battery out, then plug in the charger, and see if turns on being directly powered by the charger, if so it is the battery, if not, then it could still be the issue as the charger can’t power but I wouldn’t be sure. Other than that, you could replace the motherboard but that could be expensive. Have you fixed it yet? Been about a week.
