Before the G751JY would sometimes attempt to turn on and then shut off after 5 - 10 seconds. But it would turn on after 3 or 5 tries. Now it will not turn on at all. The device is not overheating. When i was able to turn it on it ran normally with no hindrances to operational speeds. I am not sure what to do.
Hi @mraizakku , OK. Back to basics. Remove the following from your laptop: The HDD and the ODD (DVD drive) and anything plugged into the USB ports etc. Leave only the power adapter, the motherboard, the RAM and obviously the battery, the LCD screen and the keyboard connected. You now have a bare bones laptop. See if it starts. (If it starts and stays on, then you should end up with a black screen with a message about unable to boot etc or you should be able to access the BIOS menus by pressing the Del (or perhaps F2 not sure) key during POST startup of laptop. If it doesn’t start, then if it has more than 1 module of RAM, remove other RAM modules and leave only 1 stick installed. (Always disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery when removing/disconnecting RAM and other components from the motherboard) See if it starts. If it doesn’t start, swap the RAM with another module or try another RAM slot(s) See if it starts. If it doesn’t start then you have a motherboard problem. Here is a link to the ifixit Asus ROG G751JL-BB17T29 Repair guide which may be of some help in disconnecting components.
So, this worked and I was able to use my laptop all night. I cleaned it up with ccleaner and Norton (it hasn’t turned on in 6 months). But after deleting several large games and start up programs, When I “Restarted" it worked, but when I “turn off" it didn’t make a blink. I tried again without the HDD and DVD drive and a combination thereof, but no dice. I thought I had the solution, but now I’m wondering if it was just a stroke of luck?
