Windows 10: how do I know if there is a hardware problem?

I have a dell inspiron i5.7th Gen.It's been about 2 years now. Worked well a while ago. It made a strange noise. So I shut it down. After that it will not turn on. I tried again after a while. But it will not turn on. It was well charged. I did a google search and did everything I could. I removed the ac adopter, removed the battery and held the power button for 30 seconds, but it didn't work. What can I do, please tell me.

Thanks

:)

We would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to run hardware troubleshooter and let us know if that helps.

Type "Troubleshooting" in the
Windows Search bar and press Enter.

1. Click on "View All" in the top left corner.
2. This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. You can click on Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

1. Search for Device Manager in
   Windows search bar.
2. Click on Device Manager.
3. Check if there Yellow Exclamation Point in the list of drivers.

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
