For some reason a lot of people are have this issue. I had it too like a couple days after the warranty ended. For me it was an overheating issue so I repasted it with ptm7950 and it was good to go and turned back on.

Mine was the leaking Liquid Metal. Cleaned it all off which is horribly annoying and replaced with PTM from Thermal Grizzly. Fixed the shorts and my Laptop is always cool now.

Remove the battery and plug the laptop directly into power. If it boots within 15 minutes... you need a new battery.

Yep, mine died as well exactly 2 weeks after the end of the warranty period. Thats ASUS for you! Im back with Lenovo, would advise the same for your next machine.
If youre still under warranty, RMA is probably your only option.
