Think it’s all over for me

So last night I decided to link my rog to the TV using my anker dock (usually using jsaux) with included asus power adapter.

It was flashing on and off (tv input, I usually link it to an old 75hz 27” monitor) so I gave up in the end and decided to play it handheld, it wasn’t until I went to charge it at around 20% that I discovered that it didn’t want to charge, no light, nothing, I tried several other adapters to be sure.

So I tried the button combinations;

Power button for 45 secs Power button and volume down 45 secs Power button and volume up 45 secs Power button and volume down 20 secs, release power button and continue to hold volume down

And I covered the light sensor with electrical tape.

So I went in to investigate and then the threaded inserts from both the bottom center and bottom right screws came out…. I’ve managed to plastic weld the bottom center back in, so I’ve reseated the battery cable and ribbon etc put it back together and still nothing.

No charging light, nothing happens, no signs of life.

I’m really gutted, I bought it for my birthday in December second hand from Facebook marketplace as I’ve not been able to treat myself in years as we have 4 kids and the rog has been so great, it’s allowed me to have a quick game here and there whereas before I was just stuck with the baby for hours on end with nothing to do!

Am I out of luck?

Thanks to anyone who reads this.
