    Hello everyone!

    I'm experiencing a problem with my G53.
    This morning, I was working on the laptop just fine, but i had to go to work, so I turned off my laptop, got it in my backpack.

    I ended up not even using it there. When I came back home, I got my laptop on the table, tried to turn it on and all that happened was that the power light and the 3 buttons on the left superior side of the keyboard (backlight, 3d vision etc) blinked for a sec and turned back off. I tried using only the battery, only the AC adapter and both together but with same results.

    By the way, when I plug both battery and AC adapter, the green light meaning ethat battery is full is ON. When I attempt to turn it on though, after the laptop turns off (about half a second after pressing the ON button) the light turns off as well. I have to clear all energy activity (remove AC and battery and hold ON button for 30 seconds.) so I can get the light back, but it would go off again If i made another attempt to turn the laptop on.

    Anybody had this problem before?? How did you guys fix it??

    Thanks a lot and I wait for your response .

    It sounds like it could be a hardware problem.

    Since you have already tried the AC adapter and battery individually, and tried resetting the EC by removing all power for 30+ seconds, the next suspect is RAM. You can try removing a stick at a time if you can.
