SOMETHING is trying to demolish systemd

something tried to kill systemd twice on my laptop, i was listening to weird al and my laptop froze. i restarted it. it worked as normal but uhhhhh something tried to kill init while sddm was loading. TWICE. this results in a kernel panic and plus; MY LAPTOP WONT EVEN TURN ON ANYMORE! i tried charging it, it didn't work. it turns on for half a second, turns off for about 3 seconds, and repeat. i cannot stop it. can anyone help me fix this or is my laptop cooked?

Re: SOMETHING is trying to demolish systemd

Most laptops have a firmware reset procedure, for ASUS it is activated by a 40 second long press of the power button, check your manufacturers support pages for details on your machine.

Re: SOMETHING is trying to demolish systemd

well - so I wasn't that far off with a stuck power button, eh?
yes, I've killed a fair share of hardware my own - last time it was my r9 290x oc which, until I killed it, did a great job playing even recent games
but top #1 hardware I killed over the years are numbers of keyboards due to spilled liquid over them
as for laptops: one I grilled both the gpu and the display because I pinched the display cable on re-assembly - and my own recently got dropped by my cat ... but with its battery broken already I only cry about the cool stickers I covered the top with
let me see - oh yea, back in school about 20 years ago I flashed a wrong firmware onto a class mates mp3 player - had to sacrifice mine and give it to her
tldr - we all fried some hardware in the past - some more expensive than others - but yea: bread crumms through the keyboard down to the board ... sad story

ps: computer guy said a motherboard replacement would cost more money than the laptop's worth
