Hey guys, I'm kinda in a pinch right now and any help would be appreciated :)

Just recently I was using my laptop to browse the Internet, and suddenly it cut to the Asus boot up splash screen then to the windows loading screen with a small circle of dots spinning. Suddenly it powered off with no lights on.

I tried restarting the laptop by pressing the power button, and the lightbulb, wireless, and number lock indicator lights light up for a few seconds before cutting out and dying. The fan and the hard drive does not spin at all or make any sounds, and the screen remains completely black.

I have tried removing the battery and power cord and holding the power button for 30-60 seconds on multiple occasions, then putting everything back in and restarting, and nothing changes.

My computer's specs are
asus k53e
4gb ram
500 hdd
Intel i5-2410m
Windows 10

I was wondering how I could get my laptop to boot up and run normally, and help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much :)

May I ask where were you using your laptop did you have it placed on a desk, or were you using it with it on a bed or on a carpeted floor.

In the later cases you should never place your laptop on a bed or lay it on the floor if carpeted.
As you will block the fan air intake of the laptop on the underside.
After long use this can lead to the cpu overheating and causing damage to the cpu.

Short of that if the laptop fails to boot then you should flip the laptop upside down.
If it has a plastic cover with a screw in it to access the memory modules undo it. take out both sticks of memory if it has two in. place one in the top memory slot and see if the laptop powers up.
If it does not swap it for the other memory stick putting it in the first memory slot of the laptop.
Again try to power the system up, if it does power up with the second memory stick in the first slot it indicates that the other memory stick is damaged in some way and preventing the laptop from powering on, or booting.

That is about as much as i can tell you, if you know he battery of your laptop hold a good charge, and charges from the mains power brick provided. Other than that you may presume something on the laptop motherboard has failed or the cpu of the laptop.

I was using it on a bed at the time, that probably caused the problem. However, I've tried the inserting the single ram stick into the second empty slot, but it still does not boot up.

The battery can still hold a charge, most likely the mother board or cpu has failed then :(

Well, thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it :)

Well I think it is your motherboard as if you had many applications meaning big applications that take up a lot of CPU for example, skype doing big downloads, this can cause your mother board to die.

then you've had a computer that was already dying then. I've had 13+ internet explorers opened plus doing other things at the same time on this intel 3.2ghz dual core with initially 2 now 4gigs of ram running 32bit win7 ultimate with that not happening. I can be doing a download off the net that ties up my download speed plus run a data recovery program getting info off a customer's hard drive, run a photo editor program & accessing windows explorer & not have that problem.
