I faced typical same issues,did you find any solution?

[sreeram_sugavan]

Gently pressed just below the handprint recognition several times and played some games for an hour or two to heat up the internals. It is working now. Seems to be an issue with some loose connections internally

I have already given the info several times this solution and especially what not to do for it to start again.
As you are lucky that the contactor is still in place, press firmly, the LCD well placed flat on a cloth.
If you put the ROG 5 back in your front or back trouser pockets, the little flexes pull on the cable and it will start again until you completely disconnect the connector.
Normally this doesn't happen, unless you're particularly rough.
