    I put my laptop to sleep instead of shutting down. I left it unplugged and I remember seeing the green button blinking.

    I left it awhile to exercise when I came back it was dead. I plugged it but still no lights and nothing when I press power. My sister said she heard a long beep followed by a pause repeating over and over.

    I know there are some sleep issues with ssds and Windows. Is there something I can do to revive my laptop?

    If you have an issue and solve it, putting the solution in the thread before closing it helps others if they do something similar.

    i removed the battery and the ssd then reattached them. it could have just been a loose connection but afaik, a loose ssd or battery wont lead to a dead unit. anyways, im just glad everything is working now.

    It was likely the battery bugging out a bit after being 100% drained.

    Not really, if it's at 75% then that's likely the true value, you would need a replacement. The current models use the same battery at least.
