Asus R556D won't boot

[oduivestein]

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my Asus R556D. When I try to boot it the screen won't turn on. The CD drive light blinks and keeps making the sound that it usually makes once while booting up.

Also just one of the lights (with the lamp) just turn up. I've tried to remove the RAM, pressed the power button for 20 seconds but no luck.

Anyone with some advice?

Try this...

1. Turn the laptop off (not sleep or hibernate but off).
2. Connect an external monitor to the laptop.
3. Turn on the external monitor.
4. Turn on the laptop.

NOTE: You may have to press an "external monitor" button. Could be the f4 button or a button with two monitors on it, for the external monitor to work.

If you can see fine on the external monitor, then your attached display, or the ribbon cable that connects it, are your problem.

If you can't see on the external monitor at all, or the problem occurs on the external monitor as well, then it is probably the graphics card/GPU that is the problem, which may require the motherboard be replaced.
