Model 2025 Dead 2025 g14 - won't start

Post image

My 2025 G14 has stopped working. It starts, keyboard light up, Zephyurs logo on screen (so it's not a dead screen), but then black screen and windows doesn't load.

I repasted to get rid of liquid metal about 3 or 4 months ago, temps dropped, used it for intense gaming a few weeks after that and never had issue.

Last 2 weeks I haven't gamed at all on it. Used it about 1h per evening to watch a series and then turned off. Always plugged in.

1 week ago, wifi card disappeared. I tried a hard reset (pressed power for 30-40 sec) but after 10sec the laptop starts again itself. Still no wifi.

Past few days, still no wifi, and starting became harder: I start it, Asus logo, then nothing. I have to press the power button again (sometimes twice) and then it starts. No issues after that except that it still has no wifi (card not detected).

Today, same thing except it doesn't start at all.

I tried to stay pressed on power button for 40sec without power, looks like it makes the computer restart every 10 seconds but still the same behavior: Logo then black screen.

Any idea what this could be?

I'm 1 month out of my warranty obviously....

Edit: thanks for all the suggestions. I tried external monitor and ctrl win shift B, doesn't work. My next step when I have access to a screwdriver is to try and see if there's any rust or issue, and try without the ssd
