    Hi,
    I received my G53 from RMA. Now RAM is working correctly (something wrong with slots). I upgraded it with SSD on Wednesday and till yesterday evening everything was right.
    I played Battlefield 3 and after I finished I went to desktop and then I closed the lid and unplugged it from AC. This morning I wanted to turn it on and I had black screen (I heard that Windows booted). Now I have bigger problem because it can't boot even to BIOS. When I press Power Button it just turns off like during startup. Do you have any idea what can I do? To be honest I don't want to disassemble it AGAIN...

    Last time I had an issue like this the GPU was a goner. And since it was part of MB, I had to replace it.

    That sucks. Take the battery out and unplug it from AC, press the power button a few times and wait 30ish seconds. You can also try removing some RAM to see if it will boot.
