Solved/Closed

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

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.

Thanks,
you were right. The standard 20 seconds listed on the ACER website didn't do it. Thanks for taking the time to post.

OMG! It worked! :D
My Asus X51R has been refusing to boot for about 3 months now due to "CMOS Battery Low", "CMOS Corrupt" and "CMOS Date/Time Not Set", and I have been unable to do anything due to both the F1 (continue) and F2 (Setup) asked for a BIOS password that I never set.

None of the default BIOS passwords I tried worked, and I had quite honestly given up hope.

But after following your instructions (holding the power button without any power source connected for 45 seconds), it now boots up perfectly.

The F1/F2 alternatives still appeared the first time I booted it, but without password requirements.

You're a lifesaver :)

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
