    Turned off and unplugged Asus K52F laptop. Returned two days later and it will not power on. No lights illuminate. Power adaptor OK, putting out 19.6 volts. Hard reset per Asus support no help. Suggestions appreciated.

    Take out the battery, remove ac power and wait 30 seconds. Try it again.

    You can also try removing one stick of RAM (I think the rest may be soldered).
