Solved! Dead asus laptop

[BobbyW61]

Hi all. Had a quick question. I have an asus laptop that will not start up. Now there are two lights in the very front that come on amd go off when powered on amd off but no fan, no sound, nothing. I've tried hooking a monitor up incase it's the screen but nothing. Just curious what all would cause this? The lights on the front are on so the power supply is good? Or could it be underpowered because there's an issue with it? What else would cause it to act like it's not powering on? Thanks for any help you can offer.

If there is no screen at all even with an external monitor, dead motherboard is the most likely issue.

Thanks for the response. I've kinds came to the same conclusion. I basically got the laptop for free so it may be worth the fix
