    Does anyone have this problem? My new five days old Asus G73JH-A1 seems to be working fine until I shut it down for longer than 4 hours. When I hit the power button to boot it, I do not see anything, not even BIOS. However, it seems to boot since I head the log in sound, etc... I have to force it to shutdown and reboot and it works fine then. For the last three days it's been like that. Reloaded the OS, etc... doesn't help. :confused:

    That is definately wierd... This is the first time ive heard of it. Off a random note, do you use it when your Turbo initiated through your BIOS? If so, try turning that off. Then I would go and download the latest bios from there support site. Try that and see if that fixes the issue.

    Normally I'd say the same thing, but be careful with the newest BIOS version as it has been pointed at for killing the keyboard lights.

    Have you tried the monitor shortcut? FN + F6 or F7 I think? (It has the picture on the key, but I'm not at my laptop).
