Mathew,
You might check here: https://www.laptoprepair101.com/ and doing some other searches on the net. Sometimes overheating will cause a shut down which is fixed by letting it sit till it cools and then it will start up only to shut down if it gets hot. If it does this it could need new thermal grease on the CPU or the fans are not running when they should.
Have you tried seeing if it will turn on with just the battery and the power cord removed?
It could be some simple thing or a dead motherboard. :hmmm:
