This laptop won't turn on after a power cut. When the charger is plugged in the power brick light goes out. I felt a mosfet get hot so I removed it and when the charger is plugged in the brick light stays on. I replaced the mosfet but goes back to the same issue

It’s a 1TB HDD and 256GB SSD. However, I’ve maxed it out and require a new one. I still want a Hybrid Drive, preferably 2TB+ HDD and a 256GB SSD. However, I don’t know what drive will work. For instance, how big or small the drive needs to be(I assume 2.5”). Can anyone help?

The other day i was playing a pretty demanding game on my lab top when suddenly it made both usb ports nonfunctioning. Headphones and a mouse shut off. Made the battery % drop to 6% and throw the screen into dim mode. What would be the root of the issue? would this be in need of a replacement battery? currently while typing this the battery shows charging on and off.
