Laptop Ask a question Report

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

Sarah

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.

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.

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.

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.

have ever back up ur files ... bcause it might be software problem before going to ur respective hardware solutions... do back up first ur datas by using an external enclosure, copy ur files to another pc then after making backups return ur hd to ur laptop & make format... for sure it will work 100% then copy ur file back to ur laptop ( note : before puting ur backup pls install antivirus first just to be sure, OK! ) Hope it works if its still desame give me a message... thanks.. butch tech php

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 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 hey ppl im zoey and ima be honest when I was 14 last feb I got my first laptop as a birthday present thinking asus was a good chioce. by march I didnt have a laptop less then a month the keypad didnt work april came by {birthdays on april} I got a call from best buy saying my laptop couldnt be fixxed tht we would have to ship it from cali to some other state to where the company was at and it was all at are cost! my mom got really mad and had me talk to the manager {mom-only spanish} and my top also had a bunch of virusus and I had not down loaded anything on it do to the fact tht I learned my leason after my anit virus expired on my computer and I explaned to him how my laptop only worked about a month and he told me best buy would take care of it- a week later thy called again saying tht best buy wasnt responsible for the laptop to go pick it up. we went and my laptop had scratches on it and it still didnt work! I talked to the manager again and he traded the laptop for what he called a newer laptop, I went home in may with my "new" laptop but I realised it didnt have and of the clear paper on it like when somethings new it looks well untouched and clean and you have to peel the clear paper off of it well the laptop only had it on the out side part not on the screen, well I was just glad tht the nice man had given us a new better laptop, went on a trip to mexico and disided to put the anti virusus and the man told me tht putting it would be a great idea but tht I would have much memory for anything so I would have to put a 3 month anti-V when I bought a $700 laptop with 4 gigs. and not just tht I was going threw some files and noticed up dates from jan 18 thru april when I got the l/p on may of 09- and now my asus x83vb-x2 some times stays loading to turn on and then just dies due to battery lost its worth less, best buy thy never told me the diffrences from buying an hp, dell or any other brand. sry for my spelling too
