Need Help!

 

Try removing the battery & ac power for 30 seconds and try powering it on again.

The http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/174395-bios-update-guide-asus-notebooks.html suggests only flashing the BIOS from a FAT-formatted USB stick using EasyFlash from the BIOS setup menu. Winflash and flashing from NTFS partitions are more risky.

If it was a bad flash, you can send it back to ASUS (or an authorized service center) to have it fixed.

have tried that, also tried to remove the small battery inside for 10 minutes.

There is no warranty on it, so sending it to Asus is not an option, its old with outdated hardware, so i dont wanna spend much on it, but it works just fine for my use, so its a shame if its going to the trash

There has the be a way to waken it up?

 

ASUS should take it for you, as long as you explain that it was a bad BIOS flash they may charge you shipping, but it should be reflashed by them for free or a very small charge. Even out of warranty.

You could reflash the chip with an eeprom programmer, but you have to flash only the upper portion or you will wipe out your slic tables (which contain your windows license, for one example). I'm not an expert with that stuff so I can't give you precise directions.

 

Thanks for reply's,,

This going to the trash am afraid, its not worth fixing..
