Asus G1S not working at all

Hi folks,
I boutght an ASUS G1S 3 weeks ago...
Today morning I used it to check my e-mails, but now it simple don't turn on anymore.

The strange part is that when I arrived the baterry was hot and empty.
Then I plugged it into the eletricity and then when I press any of the power buttons, the LEDs turns on, ASUS appears in the small blue display, and the CDROM blinks as it's used to.

But the screen stays dark, nothing appears, neither the POST Animation or POST Errors, and unluckly NO BEEPS at all.
And it keeps forever in that screen...

Someone please help me.
I bought it in Zurich, but I'm traveling back to Brazil in two weeks...

Thank you
Fabiano Sant'Ana

 

Check the LCD connection. Hook it up to an external and see if anything happens.

 

and if you do this dont forget to activate the port by pressing Fn+F8

If all else fails I would drop it in for service ASAP and see if they can post it to your home address in Brazil??

 

I will try, but even if the problem was only the LCD display, should it make the explosion noise when I press button, shouldn´t?

 

Yes, yes it would. I didn't think of that as that was the first thing I turned off.

 

I have a similar problem where my laptop LCD does not work, but if I hook it up to an external monitor it will work. Is there any guides or instructions in order to check the LCD connection? I've been looking for some time now. Thanks.

 

Well you can get a disassembly manual, open it up and mess with the LCD coax and inverter cables, and connections. That fixed a bad LCD image problem for me.

 

It seems unlikely on such a new system, but if all your cabling is secure it could be a bad inverter or a bad LCD panel. If you hook it up to an external monitor and you're still not getting anything, though, it may be a graphics card problem, and if you're not hearing all the normal sounds of the system booting up it could be a motherboard issue. First things first is to hook it up to an external display and see if you get anything, then work from there. If you get nothing on either display, I'd say you need a repair or, since it's so new, a refund/replacement.

 

I think he said it works on external, so it's either in the cables, the inverter, or the LCD.

If it's the inverter, you should be able to see the image very dimly/darkly on the screen (since the pixels are turned on, but there is no backlight). You can check for that.

 

I think ive had the exact same problem as you. One day the G1s was functioning like a charm, then woke up next day, powered on the G1s and nothing happened. Just the oled saying ASUS and the power light up with no screens showing up or sound. I don't know if this is the fix and if youre not confident about it you shouldn't try. How i "seemed" to fix it was, i took out the ram sticks after taking the battery out of course, left them alone for a while, replaced the ram sticks back in and ive never had a problem since.

 

Everything else works but the LCD, no image is displayed to the LCD and the backlight does not turn on. No OS recognizes it either.

 

Ugh... I hooked it up to an external monitor again and changed the resolution to 1680x1050 and then my LCD worked again. Recognized in both Linux and Windows again, I have no idea what actually happened but I'm not complaining.

 

A glitch. Hope it won't happen again.

 

Same thing happens on mine on an extremely irregular basis. ASUS on LED display, black screen, HDD activity light running normally. I do a hard power-off by holding the switch for 6-9 seconds, then remove the battery for a minute or two. It powers up normally after that.
