Solved! Asus laptop won’t turn on

[mag61]

It has only the amber light on

Tried holding down power button with and without charging cable in to no avail

I used it a couple of days ago with no problem

That hold the power button thing doesn't work if the battery is still in. The correct way to do it is like this...

1. Unplug your charger cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
5. 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. You may also want to try charging it when the device is off, rather than on. If it works then, the cord is probably the issue.

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

If you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself, then I would try a local tech.

By the time I went to try your solution the amber light was off so I went to plug it in to see what happened and amazingly it is now working a few days of letting it all out thanks for the help
