As I said, my Nitro 5 (AN515-55) just died, I wasn't gaming on it and was just regularly using it for browsing around the internet, with an elevated mount underneath for better air-flow.

It just suddenly turned off and now it won't power back on at all, no lights, no sign of life.

I had to always put my CPU vent at max to keep it somewhat reasonably cool, since even at idle the NitroSense always showed me more than 70-80°C for no apparent reason.

Yeah, I maybe should have repasted and clean the inside of the laptop, but I wasn't using it for gaming since atleast last year, so I didn't think it would.. just.. die on me so randomly?

Is there anything I can do? Or is my only solution just bringing it to the first repair shop and hope for the best?

1# Update Edit: I decided to bring it to a repair shop, the guy did notice quite a build up of dust in the CPU fan and suggested to clean and repaste, and that hopefully should solve the issue by tomorrow. But in case it doesn't, i'll update describing what eventually died or what happened.
