    My lenovo g50-45 randomly shut off and won't turn back on.

    Both lights are off. I tried long pressing the start button but it's not working. I thought it might've overheated so I left it to cool down for the rest of the day. It's been 3 days now and I still have no idea what caused this. Can someone help me?
