OMEN 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-c0000 (2W4Q0AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I was using my laptop, when all of the sudden the screen turned to black with a loading symbol and said “locking” or “locking down” or something like that, it was only for a second at most. Then it turned off completely, no lights on anywhere. I tried turning it on, i tried unplugging it and turning it on, plugging it back in, holding the power button for 15 sec., trying to turn it on after a couple minutes, etc. It still won’t turn on.
