So, I was updating my drivers for Acer aspire e15 E5-573G-347C and it froze for some 15 minutes after I pressed 'yes' button to start updating them. Then I turned off pc because nothing was happening at all. When I turned it off I heard some click from the right side of computer. Now I can't turn it on, nothing happens, even the blue light doesn't show up when I plug it in to electricity. Tried reset button at the bottom of the pc but nothing happens. Any solutions?

Hi,

This issue would be likely be caused by a motherboard fault. The drivers are probably coincidental, you need to seek a replacement motherboard. Chances are it's a blown diode or Fuse.
