ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HC Dead/Won't turn on after the update

My ASUS TUF F15 FX506HC won’t turn.
When I plug in the charger, the charging light turns on. When I long press the power button, the power button light and the💡light blinks for some instance and nothing happens.

This is happening after the latest BIOS update 312.

The service centre team tried flashing the motherboard firmware however they just confirmed there is an issue with the motherboard and needs to be replaced along with the keyboard which is also now faulty.

I tried all possible ways(removing the keyboard and shorting pin 5, hard reset CMOS, f2 etc.)

Now I will go to some laptop repair shop and see what happens.

If someone has a working unit, go and sell the useless box and go for some other good brand laptop or desktop since ASUS is behaving wierd and seems to be working unethical via firmware and BIOS updates which are making end users device unusable and the keyboard or motherboard gets malfunctioned or dead after the update.

Seems like ASUS is hit with some kind of cyber espionage with some sort of deadly malware which is causing a lot of issues or ASUS is using the same tactics which some brand uses to make their end users device unusable after certain period of time via updates by slowing down the device or causing permanent damage to the device hardware via updates. Anyways a lot of people are affected and ASUS is completely unaware and not concerned about it. Over-all experience is really bad as it seems ASUS is not trustworthy.

Key takeaways: ASUS is not trustworthy. I wasted my hard earned money by trusting ASUS just for the sake of fulfilling my childhood dream of having a gaming laptop.

My initial issue was when I booted linux on it and a graphics issue happened the display artifact started. Then I repaired the display and then while using windows my GPU failed and never was visible in bios. Later I was using it for more than 6 months like that. Without gaming. Casual use. The motherboard entirely took a hit and the led indicators won't even show any sign. Now it's sitting in a bin. 240hz screen is the only good part of it. I spent too many repairs on this. To land at this state. Even given to repairs these people are refusing to work on the motherboard and instead telling me to buy a replacement. I could get a new laptop for that. I got a top spec i9 with 3060 in it. And one day it took itself. These people should make the technicians work on the motherboard even if it is 1 in 1 chance either it dies or survives. Completely lost faith in the service policy of asus plus they are not having qualified technicians in my country.
