G53JW Completely Died...Will Not Power On

I did a cursory search, but did not find anything.

My 2 month old G53JW just died. I was using it in one room, closed the lid, unplugged it and carried it into another. When I opened the lid and attempted to wake it out of hibernation, nothing. I plugged it back in and nothing. None of the indicator lights are lighting up on the unit, but the power supply light is still on, so the problem must be with the unit itself.

I am quite perplexed at this and frustrated. Is this common problem? Any pointers or advice on getting this working again?

Edit, I found a similar thread, but the other user's machine would at least get to the BIOS screen...I got nothing to work with here.

 

Warranty?

You could also try taking out the battery and AC power cord, hold the power button for 30 secs. Then reconnect the battery and power cord and test.

 

I use it exclusively for work, so ending it off for the warranty would be the wort case scenario.

I tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds with only the cable connected but still nothing.

 

i had same issue like you which it was a long story and i have it described somewhere

1.try taking out the baterry and reinserting it and see if it will power on
2. there is a small hole on the back of the laptop (press it with paper clip or niddle ...)

 

i have had same issue. happened first in april 2011 and i had to RMA it. they said they had to repair the tip on the power connector. it just happened to me again and i am in the process or RMAing it again. very disappointed with this laptop at this point.

 

Yes I would try the old remove all power supplies battery AC and hold the power button to discharge the remaining charge in the laptop.

Wait..........now replace the battery and AC adaptor and try firing it up. Otherwise you can try resetting the CMOS battery but the above normally works.

Hibernation is pure evil and when you install windows the very first thing I do is switch off those stupid close the lid sleep and hibernation facilities.

 

You can also try:

1) Hit the reset button a few times in succession

2) Try moving a magnet over to the lower right side of the trackpad. Sometimes the sensor will think the laptop is closed and won't start.
