You tried to flash the BIOS from within a Beta software OS?

Try some of the options detailed in EBE's " Notebook Doesn't Post" thread; see also the second post in his BIOS guide. Problems that occur during a BIOS flash are serious, and often times will require sending it back to Asus' tech support to have it reset, or sometimes worse (i.e. motherboard replacement). But, you may get lucky and something might work.

If you're still under warranty, you might just consider calling Asus for RMA.

 

Ye 9 out of 10 times a notebook with no post is generally a lost cause (not including dead on arival). Rarely reseating the ram helps. good luck

 

thanks mate's for answer faster but i dont test this way you says to me, i will try, but my notebook are in warranty time, but in portugal the warranty service are too slow and bad...im affraid to send that to asus, before see the problem haves, i will try get up all perphials

 

Beta software (such as Win 7) is for testing purposes only!!! "Beta" means that the software hasn't been tested 100% and it is supposed to contain several hundreds of bugs if not thousands. Got the point?

You should not try any hardware modifications with a beta software.

Now it is time for you to send your laptop to ASUS' Portugal office.

Ken helped someone in a similar situation. Don't know if he has a laptop like this tho .

 

well i contact to gentechpc with forum to see what solutions i have! i try anything removel disc, remove hardware like Ram, and pci-e, nothing more, but dont have a solution i will wait to solution from gentech

 

I was stuck on the phone with customers, I am uploading the ISO now however, no sound when you hit the power button is not a good sign.

Edit:

BIOS V 211 ISO:

thanks and sorry about that, do you made a great job, i will test later 2 hours...

 

I think we need a sticky or something to smack people in the head: "Don't flash in an unstable environment "

 

Yup, this thread here:

But at least mattj19 can still hear the post sound and still boots normally except he can't see anything on the screen, so his BIOS is not totally corrupted, it's just BIOS is looking for ATI X1600 which he does not have, blind flash the BIOS to the correct model fixed his problem.

But etiko's laptop seem acting differently after BIOS flash in Windows 7, he doesn't even hear anything and not even sure if the laptop still boots normally.

 

i burn my cd but noting happens, drive spin cd, and read, but nothing happens on screen, what i made wrong? i burn cd with lastest nero at 2x speed

 

Yes if you didn't do anything then nothing gonna happen, here watch this video:

nothing happens....i try this method but...i dont know whats going on...simply i run this step by step, and when it take more than 3 minutes i press control alt delete and not response... i take manual shutdown, and all are same thing im very sad, maybe the problem are another.... and it for mine don't work....i dont know....i burn 3 cds to make sure problem its not bad burn, and nothing....thank you at all, but its not working, maybe the way its send notebook to asus, and stay alone with him more than 1 month :S

 

Edit: i never turn off post sound, and by default bios files has turn on post sound... so, my pc is really dead... only it makes are spining some times a drive, all lights ON, and fan working, the charger of battery works not more ....

 

was the BIOS flash successful in Windows 7?
One more thing you can try is remove the battery and AC adapter, insert a paper clip into the pinhole at the bottom of the notebook to reset the BIOS.

 

yes... is successfuly i made this with easyflash, sorry but i dont understand somethings, bottom of notebook? can you take a picture of this? i dont know what its is :S

 

google translator helps-me i use this method with pinhole and i had some progress(or not) now when i turn on my notebook some one light is on, before this method all lights are off, its good?:S lol thanks..

 

If it's acting different now after reset the BIOS then you can try flash the BIOS again.
