I have an Asus G73JH that's just out of warranty, and it no long turns on. When I plug in the power cord the blue lights on the left side all come on. When I press the power button nothing come up, but the blue lights on the left turn off for about a second then come back on. The screen doesn't turn on and the fans don't spool up.
I pulled out the battery and power adapter and held down the power button for 30 seconds several times to no avail. So I went a grab my G53's charger which is the same Voltage and Amps and plugged it in and the laptop and it still won't turn on. So I grabbed the battery and stuck it in my G53 and it booted right up and the battery is working fine.
Next I took out the HDD and Ram and tried just one stick, still no boot. So after trying my 3 different ram in the 3 different slots still won't power on. Next I tried pressing the cmos clear/reset but that didn't work either.
I'm starting to think its a bad motherboard ! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this ?
i7 720m
5870m

As I understand it, bad or poorly-seated RAM, or a bad or poorly-seated video graphics adapter will prevent system startup. It looks like you've already eliminated the RAM possibility.
Did you experience any video issues prior to the boot failure? -
son your issue comes from your processor , maybe its dead or faulty ,
try replacing it , I bet the problem comes from the processor , because I have tried turning on my old laptop without processor and lights came for a second and went off.,
sometimes , removing the processor and reinstalling it also will fix the issue , make sure you tight the heatsink screws , otherwise you would get the same problem.
thanks -
Those issues are actually pretty hard to diagnose, so it's hard to say exactly what is the cause.
Asus G73JH won't power on !
