Asus K 55N AMD A8 laptop will not turn on.

[Danstar620]

Hello. I am having problems with my Asus K 55N laptop. All of a sudden while I was working on it, the mouse froze. So I just shut off the computer. When I tried to turn it on all I would get would be a blinking light and it would shut off. This went on several times. I took out the battery and put it back in, hoping that it would help. It did not. The same thing happened. I plugged it in
and I still got a blinking light and shut off. So it wouldn't reboot. Can anyone help me?

Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. First make sure the device has been charged.
2. Unplug your charger cord.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds and see if the device will turn on.
5. If it does, great, if not yet, no big deal. Now plug back in the power/charger cord. (If it didn't turn on without the cord in, it should turn on once you it is in. Yes sometimes they will turn on, or try to turn on, even with nothing attached/plugged in.)
6. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.

I was told to taker out the battery and remove the plug from the ac for 20 seconds and put it back in without the battery. That worked. The computer came back on. I used the computer without the battery for the rest of the day. Then I put the abttery back in and it worked. I may still get a new battery for it.

Thanks for your help.

webworkings, if the main battery is removed & the power adapter is disconnected from the laptop, laptop will not turn on. it is like disconnecting the battery in a car to see if the engine will turn over which it won't because of no electricity. the reason for line 4 is that you are doing a hard reset of the laptop something like clearing the cmos in a desktop computer.

I have had them start on me. Weird as that may sound. They don't finish booting up, but they have 'started'. Perhaps I should rewrite that aspect of the instructions.

on a desktop yes but I haven't seen that on a laptop yet.
