asus g60j problems

i am not getting sound,,,when it boots, i get the post sound..but when i go to youtube and play something, no sound.,,,,,,,the volume button shows that that sound is playing , but nothing out of the laptop speakers...if i connect my computer speakers, i do get sound through them....

no backlight on the keys...is there a setting for this?

 

Sounds like a possibly stuck headphone jack. Search this post for headphone and you'll find some possible solutions:

Worst case you can replace that 'audio board' part, it runs around 30-40 bucks on ebay.

If it's not that, it's a software problem. Check your drivers and audio control panel.

 

okay..thanks...i do have back lighted keyboard,,,,its was my light that was making it not visible......

i bought a g60j yesterday, only to find out there is no onboard sound...due to the headphone jack i believe....i paid $500, and i am very angry....quess i will have to sell it on craigslist...this guy did not tell me sound did not work, and when it boots , its got the post sound....which i heard when i bought it....what should i ask for it, and should i tell the next buyer its got no sound???it does have sound through the headphone jack, and external speakers hookup......i should have paid $1010 for a new msi gaming notebook

 

I merged your new thread into your last post, no need to spam the forum.

Did you pay with a credit card? Is the guy unwilling to take a return? See if you can do a chargeback.

You can replace the audio board for $30-40.

Also you can try a linux livecd or liveusb (unetbootin utility creates an ubuntu liveusb very easily) to test the audio, rule out a software problem.

 

well, i sold it tonight ...the guy was going to use it for cad......last used laptop i will ever buy.....going to get a new msi laptop for a $1010...they look like they use the same case design as the g60....i don,t like the new asus, too plain looking for me....
