As the title says I have a Asus G73sw (Not mine, it's a friends. but he says he doesn't want it anymore so I hope I can get it for a low price)
It seems to be a power related problem. At first when I got it, it wouldn't power on, so I pulled the battery out and managed boot it properly. However it wasn't long before it wouldn't power on at all! I believe this could be a problem with either the power brick or the motherboard.
I guess one way to troubleshoot it is to plug in a charged battery (without brick pluged) and see if it starts. If it does, then I would be almost certain that it's the power brick.... or maybe the power input on on the board
I was thinking of just buying a "new" board (they are fairly priced on eBay) But before I do that want to hear what the wise men/women of TomsHardware have to say in my time of need.

I realize I haven't been very specific. But that's because I can't translate my thoughts and observations into words that are easy to understand! So ask about anything I will try to describe what is going on
