Hi, 

I would recommend you to remove the power cable, battery and disconnect all peripherals, and then hold the power button for 15-20 seconds and put the battery and the adapter back in and start the computer, which may fix the issue. 

If the issue still persists then, would recommend going for a replacement of the part. 

Please reply for further assistance

Thanks & Regards
