Asus TUF A15 complete black screen

Hi! Today I turned my laptop on and played some games, browsed internet all normally while at one point the screen went all black. It came back after some seconds and then it went pitch black again, this time it did not come back on. I could still hear the background noise from the game and internet, but could not see screen. I forced restarted the laptop, but it was not showing a logo on the startup, although I could hear the fans working as the laptop was turning on and keyboard, along with mouse and headset was flashing which all meant that the PC was working normally, except the display. I tried a hard reset, a safe boot, even opened the laptop from the back side and unplugged battery out along with one of RAMs and I put it back in, no change. Each time I try to turn the laptop on, everything seems to work except the display.
I don't know whether it's a hardware or a software issue, although I downloaded a program called Ryzen Controller yesterday to try to keep my laptop temperature a bit lower as it was heating up very bad so I'm not sure whether that could have played a part in this issue.
If there is anyone who knows something more about it, please help!

Have you tried pressing down the Fn + the F6 keys at the same time in case the screen has been turned off, Fn + F8 should be tried as well in case the brightness has been turned all the way down.

Additional to the above, if no joy, try connecting the notebook to a screen that has a HDMI port to see if you get any display on that.

I tried with Fn + F6 and Fn + F8 keys, nothing worked. I am also nkt able to use an external screen to check if that works.
It's very strange now because I can't hear the fans working now. It is almost fully silent other than very quiet buzzing if I put the ear close. I'm not sure whether now it's broken due to something else...
The keyboard is still flashing lights and other 3 lights on it are also on (3rd one is flashing, wasn't able to catch it on a photo). Shown in the attached photos.

Not a good sign as something may have gotten fried.

Not sure why you are not able to but this is the most conclusive test when having problems with a notebook screen, after reading the content of your reply #3 regarding not hearing any fans working the screen may well not be the problem here.

The notebook is going to need to be opened up and the cooling fan/s checked out.

I don't have a 2nd monitor to try it out on at the moment. But thank you for the reply regarding the fans. I will definitely have to take it for a repair. Is it possible that they got fried while I was trying to reboot it a couple of times earlier?
Also, could the problem be connected to the program Ryzen Controller that I downloaded yesterday that limited the temperature on the PC?
What about a TV that has a HDMI port.

It is possible but fwiw you would not have been able to prevent it even if the case, the black screen suggests that something was already not right.

Unless the Ryzen controller that you mention allowed you to turn the fan/s off it is most unlikely to be involved, you not getting any logo on start up suggests that the issue is before the BIOS begins to run the power on self test (POST).
