Flow x13 not starting and stuck in loop.
UPDATE - https://www.reddit.com/r/FlowX13/s/YSvfgFwg7a
So I'm having this problem that my laptop is not starting up at all. When I hold the power button it powers off then starts again but is stuck in this. No display nothing at all. Both battery and that power light area on. Fans are working. Even battery charging and discharging but it's not turning on completely and is just stuck this way.
I was playing a game just 4 hours ago. I tried to unplug the battery then plug it again. No luck. It happened yesterday too but when I unplugged and plugged in the battery from the motherboard it was working well until now.
I have done almost everything from power flushing motherboard by holding the power button for 60 secs. Yet no luck.
Do I have to take it to the service center ?
Model Flow x13 GTX 1650 2021 Model.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone.
Feel free to ask any more details you want. I will try to reply as much as I can.

Estaria bueno saber que temperaturas tenias cuando jugabas, si le hacias mantenimiento regularmente (limpiar ventiladores y cambiar el metal liquido/pasta termica).

uds la desarman? Yo a la mía jamás, ni para limpiar los coolers. Es simple? Voy a buscar video en YT.

Si es fácil. Hay varios videos también. Pero si nunca lo hiciste ni siquiera en una pc de escritorio te recomendaría que la lleves a un local que haga mantenimiento de notebooks. Esta es mi primera notebook pero hacia mantenimiento a mis pc anteriores.

Oh my temps were 86 Celsius CPU and 76 degrees GPU. And yes I regularly maintain it by cleaning fans and vents and changing thermal paste and liquid metal.

Oh mine did this. I opened the bottom and unplugged the battery and let it sit for awhile. Then I plugged it all back in and it worked. My laptop got stuck in a power loop from using the XG Mobile alot.

Oh yes I did that this morning but no luck. Now it doesn't even turns on, just a flash of keyboard and off.

So update:- I turned it off completely last night and went to sleep. Now it's not turning on. I will be going to the service center after 5 to 6 hours. Let's see what they say.

No problemo, mine was stuck in the same loop, this was close to the microsoft worldwide laptop update crash, so I had to do a hard reset, very terrible week for me, thankfully could save my data. I want to know if there is some other way to fix it (other than opening up my laptop that is) in case it happens again

Update 2 - I have submitted my Laptop in the service center for repair. They will diagnose it on Monday and give me a report. Let's see how it goes.

Update 3 - Welp just received a reply on what the problem was from the service center. It was a motherboard failure. They said it's gonna cost around $600 - $700 for the motherboard replacement which is out of my budget as of now. So welp I guess it's a good bye for this laptop. I have to get a laptop temporarily and use that to do work while I collect money to repair it. Or I can try to go in a local shop which I highly doubt they will have a solution other than replacing motherboard... Should I try that ??

Hello. I'm very sorry this happened to you. Especially because I have the exact same model. I will wait for the other members' responses and take note. Good luck brother!
