Hello!

My friend's Asus seems to have a bit of a problem...
It recently crashed/shut down and it doesnt want to turn back on. It shut down running on ac power.
It didnt happen for the first time but I was able to turn it on somehow. Now it just sits there no matter how long i press power button.
When you plug the adapter it doesnt even light up any of the diods on the front no matter if the battery is there or not.
The adapter light is on.

Anybody has experienced something like that??

PS. My gf had similar issue on her's HP (but it was nvidia's gpu causing that problem - theyve changed the mobo and it seemed ok after that).

I suggest you check my Tips and Tricks, under "What to do when notebook doesn't POST". Post back if those steps don't give results. But if they don't usually it's a dead motherboard..
