Solved! ASUS X72DR-TY012V died after turning on Hibernation

[ConfusedWolf]

Good day, dear Community!
On Saturday, something quite interesting and bothering has happened to my 6 year old ASUS X72DR-TY012V running Windows 10.
I have turned on the Hibernation mode and upon returning it from this state by pressing the power button, the screen stayed blank. After forcefully shutting it down by pressing and holding the power button and then starting it again, the screen still stayed blank. The only things I can make out working are the fans by the surring sound and the Motherboard, since the LEDs are lighting up.
But according to the LEDs, those two are the only things working. The Hard-Drive indicatior LED stays off, just like the entire screen.

It does not even boot up into the BIOS or POST, everything apart from the fans and mainboard seem to be dead!

I have already tried to drain the laptop from power by unplugging everything and holding the power button for about 2 minutes, multiple times, with no change in its broken state at all.

To summarize / TL;DR: 6 years old ASUS Notebook went into hibernation, couldn't return from it, hard-reset it and now it does nothing but running the fans and motherboard anymore.

Any help is most greatly appreciated .

If the fans and motherboard are running, are you sure it isn't just the display and not the whole device? Try this...

1. Turn the laptop off (not sleep or hibernate but off).
2. Connect an external monitor to the laptop.
3. Turn on the external monitor.
4. Turn on the laptop.

NOTE: You may have to press an "external monitor" button. Could be the f4 button or a button with two monitors on it, for the external monitor to work.

If you can see fine on the external monitor, then your attached display, or the ribbon cable that connects it, are your problem.

If you can't see on the external monitor at all, or the problem occurs on the external monitor as well, then it is probably the graphics card/GPU that is the problem, which may require the motherboard be replaced.
