My 2013 Asus N56J worked well until recently. Would occasionally not start, but after waiting some time it would start. It seemed that removing all USB connections helps with started up normally as well.
Now, it seems end of story, no start-up.
One short beep
I tried adding a USB keyboard to get into safe mode: no dice
Any ideas apart from throwing it to garbage? This is our non-profit laptop, and we need it to work a few more months before we have funds to buy a new laptop.
Anything I can-should do if it starts up again? Saving data is not a problem, the data are backed up regularly, and I have equipment to run the SSDs as external storage disk to my main laptop.
Forgot to add some data:

- I hear SSDs spinning
- no screen
- no back-light for keyboard
- After several seconds, I hear single soft beep. This beep is repeated several seconds later etc.

- VGA detected
- Quick boot set to disable
- No keyboard detected

Forgot to add some data:
- This laptop is mostly used as desktop with second monitor (duplicated screen) and external keyboard and mouse.
- The connection of the hings close top the power button is not so good, that is, the top and bottom part of the laptop are a bit split there, but this is already months like this, and when using as desktop the laptop is half closed to avoid tension there.
