    Asus Eee PC 701SD laptop fault, no boot.

    Hi all, I've got a Asus pc701sd mini net notebook laptop, which I cant get to power/boot.
    I'm getting the power lights and the blue wifi light to turn on, but not displaying anything on screen and no hard drive light and no noise i.e.fan.

    Any help or manuals please.

    thanks

    Try connecting your netbook to an external monitor. If it works, then it's probably your inverter board gone bad or the inverter cable is loose.

    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    I've have linked it to external monitor with no luck.

    I've checked the memory card on another laptop and it works fine.

    This suggests a GPU fault.

    You could have a look at my Tips and Tricks under the "No POST" item, there are some suggestions of things you can try.
