ASUS laptop does not power up Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

Hoping someone can help:

My ASUS A6403KM notebook does not power up. When I turn the power on the lights come on for quick second and then automatically shuts down. Ive tried taking the battery out and then turning on same thing happens. Ive also tried taking battery out and mains and pressing power button 3 times (as per ASUS support center advice) and replugging in mains power and still same problem. ASUS service centre suggested montherboard needs complete removal (he is 99% sure did not open the laptop or anything! - very pricy this option). Im hoping someone can offer some alternative advice on what they believe the cause is or how I can reticify the problem.

Thanks

I had the same thing occur with my Acer 5520 Notebook.  The green charge light was on but when I pushed the power switch nothing happened.  I did some research on the internet and this is what I did that solved the problem:

I removed the battery and unplugged the power supply. I then held down the power button for 45 seconds.  I then reinstalled the battery and the power supply and pushed the power button and voila it worked.  I did have to try it a couple of times before it woorked but all is well now.

Well, I tried this, and at first, it didn't work...I tried it a few times, and then I left the battery out, and just install the charger cord, and it worked. now all is working fine!

Thanks for this! I was just about to buy a new laptop.

Sheer brilliance!!.  My ASUS V2S laptop was dead.  Vista flashed up the symbols showing it was flicking quickly between power and battery.  Thought there may have been a dodgy power connection.  Then a few minutes later (when battery drained)... SPLAT.  Little green light on the power adaptor was on, but little orange light on laptop was not.

Battery out, power unplugged, push power button for 45 secs, battery in, power plug in... back in town!!

Thanks PEIPAUL!  Due to go on holiday in 2 days, but needing laptop to stay in touch with work.  You'ver set my panic to rest.

i have the same prob.  I sometimes have to leave it plugged in and it can take up to half the day before the orange light on the computer well come on and then I can power up the computer.  The little green light on the power cord box shows green from the start though. I ave an old acer and yes I had prob with the cd player.  Lots icon and everything.

The cooling fan, system is over heating. You're fans (Underneath the ASUS)  Take an air compressor and blow through the intake (On side or back of laptop) while the laptop is upside down (Looking down at the bottom of laptop)  It usually works, but on the off chance. Your laptop may just need a whole new fan!

P.S. I had the same problem!

I have a Gateway (Acer) NV5820u, and a similar problem occurred when I came back from summer class and I had power light on but the battery is dead and no boot-up and display is off.  I have tried this technique but doesn't work.  I think that if the battery is dead (due to not powering the light on by iteself) but still powers the power light with the power cord attached then it has to do with the battery.  This laptop is only 6-months old and I'm disappointed.

If anyone has an idea then let me know.

Thanks.

I took a can of compressed air, blew the fan and there was some dirt on the battery from my cat that I got off locked the battery back in place and the laptop was fixed, my mom will be happy to hear that her laptop is fixed!

This is a new Windows 7 BIOS issue.  All makes are having this on average once every 4 - 5 weeks.  For now, deal with removing the battery for 20 seconds and then press and hold the power button down when you re-install the battery.  DO NOT uninstall & reinstall any drivers or the BIOS.

BruceMac · Answer

I spent $180 and 3 visits to the computer shop.  It seems to work lately if I remove the battery when I finish working after powering down.  Then when I start start on mains power then plug in the battery.  Occationally it still does not start but usually does after 2 or 3 attempts - thus looking at this chat.  I may try blowing out the fan area as suggested - but it is always cool when I go to power up?

Hello,

It might because it has been dead or it can be the motherboard is dead or broken, really not sure what it iis

Bruno · Answer

the best way to reset your laptop that may solve the problem is this:
remove the cmos battery at least 3 min. after you can put it back.
The hard part is..find where it is, is it soldered or just click in?
You might have to take the laptop apart to find.
