M570RU-U won't boot up

My laptop refuses to start up. It'll turn on if I hold down the power button for a bit, but only the lights for Power and Battery (if plugged in) turn on, and it refuses to POST or proceed to any use.

This happened three nights ago as well, but after pulling and pushing on random stuff, it turned back on on its own.

Earlier today, I opened the lid (my laptop was asleep) and swiped my fingerprint and it opened to desktop, but within a few seconds a blue screen came on and I got the error "Hardware Malfunction, please contact your vendor". It may have also said Memory Parity error, I'm not certain, I may have read that on google and thought I read it on my screen. Now, my laptop won't boot up.

The following are the things I've done in an attempt to get my laptop going:

1. Took out the battery, then held down power to drain out residual charge, then replaced the battery and tried again.
2. Removed the battery, drained residual charge, plugged into power, and tried to boot that way.
3. Removed and reseated the RAM
4. Swapped the two RAM sticks
5. Tried booting with each RAM stick separately
6. Reseated the hard disk
7. Tried booting without the second hard disk (in an optical Caddy from NewmodeUS)
8. Swapped the two hard drives (main drive + optical caddy drive)
9. Thought of booting from Optical Caddy (didn't get to that stage as it didn't even POST)
10. Put the old hard disk back in (A 320GB 7200 RPM Hitachi I got with the laptop)
11. Tried putting the old Optical drive back in with old hard disk
12. Tried putting the old optical drive back in with the new hard disk
13. Contemplated pulling out every screw I could get to (I didn't do this)

Nothing helped.

If it helps, my laptop had a fall about two months ago, but nothing seemed to happen to it except for a small crack along the spine and something started rattling inside. That rattling ceased recently. A tech guy I spoke to said the SCSI port could've gotten screwed up, in which case I need a barebone, but we'll get to the barebone part later.

Please help!

 

Try to take out the GPU and see what happens, i had the same problem with my Clevo W860CU onc ei removed the fried GPU the computer turned on.

 

Are you sure it doesn't POST? Maybe it's just the GPU/screen that stopped working.

 

So it started working last night after many attempts to just turn it on. Same thing happened today. It's really frustrating when the damn thing just won't boot when I really need it.

Removing and replacing the GPU didn't do anything.

I notice the HD light sometimes turns on experimentally and then goes off again, not letting the computer go any further, sometimes doesn't even turn on, and then sometimes, it'll turn on, stay on, turn off, and the Wifi light turns on, followed by the CLEVO screen on my computer. I really get a feel that there's something wrong with the hard disk port, not the hard disk itself as it behaves this way with any hard drive I put in.

Anything I can do short of sending it in? Since I'm in India, sending it in would involve handing it to a visiting uncle, who would have to post it from Canada, and then arrange some method to have it brought back by someone else from the US. I fear taxes as it travels the border both ways.

 

We have the same problem over here as yours. Our Sager M570RU died a couple of weeks ago with the same exact symptom and another one the screen stop working. We have 3 of them over here in Thailand and it's extremely disappointing to have two of them with such a short life span. These three units are probably going to be our last Sager and Clevo. Due to potential problems with the customs, we cannot ship these units back to the state as we've had computer seized and asked to be paid extremely high duty for a couple of times due to corruption. We've swap CPU, GPU, RAM, and HDD with the working unit and all parts appear to be functioning normally, except the screen flickers a bit with the faulty GPU but still works fine. To add to our disappointment, i would like to stress that all three unit internal speakers blown within the first few months and the sound port in the front all fails also on ALL units. I suppose the quality doesn't really meet the price i've paid for them. If anyone has any suggestion or solution to the problem, please e-mail me at this user name @ yahoo.com
