Hello, I tried to give as many details as possible to what I did and how the issue came to be. The story: I own an Asus R510L laptop. It was resting for a good time without use as it has a keyboard button issue where it was always pressed. Instead of having it as a nice e-trash, except the keyboard it was a very good laptop for watching movies on a travel. So I got it out of the box and tried to start it. Absolutely nothing happened when I press the button, no led, no screen, nothing. After a long time in the forums, I had to completely disassemble it and do a bios reset by removing the battery, checked the battery and it was still at 3V which is good. After the hard reset, the computer came back to life, I was welcomed by the BIOS screen and I was very happy. So, I turned it off, reassembled everything with the HDD, and I booted it up. My windows locking screen on the sight, I didn’t go though as the keyboard issue was still there, but I told myself I’ll solve it later. So, I grabbed an SSD I wasn’t using much, I put it in the PC, and from that moment it refuses to go on. I tried to remove the SSD and try to boot without any drive and the computer stayed off and I noticed that all the leds were on except the battery and the HDD. And there, I tried everything, hard reset, start with only DC, only with battery, reseat the ram and absolutely nothing changed. The behavior is the following: On battery: Computer off, when I press the ON/OFF button, leds mentioned above go on and nothing happens. If I long press the ON/OFF button the computer force shutdown successfully and the leds go off. On DC: Leds goes on as soon as I plug the DC jack, still nothing else happens, no battery charge indicator even with the battery on, when I try to force shut down with the ON/OFF button, the leds goes off for a split second then goes on again. I have no idea what to do to diagnose the issue, can you help me please ?
@Samy Just wondering if the BIOS got corrupted somehow and the repeated attempts to get the laptop started again i.e. battery in/out, AC connected/disconnected eventually restored the BIOS to default like a full power refresh does i.e. remove the charger and the battery and hold the Power button operated for 30 seconds to dissipate any residual power from the motherboard thereby restoring the BIOS back to normal. You said that “It was resting for a good time without use…..”, perhaps now ensure that the battery fully charges and then if Win 10 is installed in the laptop, create a Win 10 battery report to check the status of the battery. Compare the Design Capacity value versus the Full Charge capacity value.
