cannot power "on" ASUS laptop after power outage
System: ASUS N61JQ (laptop) Host OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS After a power outage yesterday, pressing the power button of ASUS laptop does nothing. The laptop was/is connected to an APC battery backup (surge protection only) outlet (via AC adapter). AC adapter's green light is "on". Any ideas? |

Can DVD drives be opened even if laptop is not powered "on"? If so, the DVD drive is not opening. |

If with a caddy then there is little hole for a paperclip to push to mechanically open, else no. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

If you are lucky, there may be a fuse by the power jack inside the laptop. Thanks, do you mean the fuse may be blown and needs to be replaced? If so, this is new territory for me so let me see if I can find a DIY article. |

If so, this is new territory for me so let me see if I can find a DIY article. 1) Is the battery charged, Dell have a nice push button indicator on batter but I don't this Asus do. 2) If battery good but doesn't do anything...keyboard lights etc then you may have fried motherboard 3) If it boots with just the battery, but nothing with battery removed and just using the powercord/supply, then test power cord with meter. If powercord/supply is good then your may have the input jack fuse blown. Not for the novice to fix. See images here of likely locations. https://www.google.com/search?q=asus+laptop+fuse+on+motherboard&tbm=isch& tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CB0QsARqFQoTCOmgw5Wixc gCFYXXHgodKtIO4w&biw=1080&bih=859 We are talking about soldering on the motherboard... -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

Is it bad power jack or motherboard? http://www.insidemylaptop.com/laptop...k-motherboard/ Yikes! Sounds like some dismantling/surgery may be required. :-) |
