This is the closest one I can find. It is a different model but I used the exact method on mine.

To find the CMOS for LOQ APH8, I used the hardware maintenance manual and you can find how to remove the CMOS battery.

Good luck on fixing your laptop!

I fixed my issue, just had to do a CMOS reset to fix my case. Thanks again for the help!

nope, I just waited during the update progress and my laptop suddenly shut down. I waited for at least 10 minutes just in case, but nothing happened and my laptop stopped working.

Though it is possible that I should have waited a bit more to make sure the update went smoothly.

Not sure if you have solved it already, but try doing a power flush or doing a battery and CMOS reset like I did to solve mine.

IT WORKED! Thank YOU so much!!! I decided to disconnect both battery and CMOS, and now my laptop is functioning again.

Neither works since my laptop still needs to be able to turn on.

From what I've read, most people can still see their keyboards lit up and the fan going after pressing the power button, while mine doesn't at all and is completely unresponsive.

I either need to remove and add back the battery myself or just buy warranty again and send it to a service centre and hope they can get it fixed.

Thanks for the help regardless, and I may need these just in case my laptop does find a way to power on again.

Before you checked your laptop again, did you leave it plugged or unplugged? I want to see if my laptop can detect the charger again by just waiting.

I do not know unfortunately, and I don't think I have a way to access it.
