My Victus wont turn on

[FailedProgramme]

I bought this device about 2 years ago and it's been working perfectly fine until today. I wake up and flip the screen and tap the power button 10 seconds later I realise laptop isn't turning on, maybe I missed the switch. I check the charging port it's plugged in and boom smash that power button again and it starts acting all funny. This time I realized something's wrong so very carefully I gently presss the power button and analyse the pattern of blinking on the power button. I press the button and find the button to blink once when I press it and then after maybe about 5 seconds it blinks twice but both the blinks have a certain pause in between. Now I remove the charger and try to turn it on , nothing sorta works, puts the charger back on and tries again still not working. So I looked up for solution online and even found similar questions being asked here and someone actually posted a solution, I tried them all like the windows button and V button and power button for 5 seconds and other stuff, none of that seems to work for me. Help this poor lad out, I've got loads of work to do.
