Problem description: My Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G laptop, purchased in late 2017, will not turn on or charge after several months of not using it.

Attempted fixes: 1. Tried plugging in the charger, nothing.
2. Pushed the battery disconnect button on the bottom for 4 seconds and tried turning on, nothing.
3. Removed the battery, plugged the charger in, nothing.
4. Held the power button down for 30 seconds, plugged in charger, nothing.

Recent changes: It's been in my room for about 5 months now, without turning it on. Otherwise no changes.

I need up using a repair shop near me, it was apparently a busted charging port
