Hello,
A few weeks back my laptop started to have booting problems. It's kinda inconsistent and I haven't really figured out what might cause it, but I'm suspecting some sort of electrical overload maybe. It feels like it helps, when I take out the battery and power plug over night.
The problem I have is basically, when I press the Power button it often needs several tries to boot. Most of the times I can hear the CD-Drive spinning shortly, which is normal for my laptop, when it boots. When I look closely on my screen, I can see it light up a bit and then go dark again. This cycle repeats, with my CD-drive making the noise, until I see the ASUS loading screen. The number of cycles appears to be random, but it has gotten worse lately. 10+ tries this afternoon.
The laptop I have is an ASUS X550J-DM028H, bought in August 2015.
Normally I'd probably just try and sent it to the manufacturer, but that's not possible at the moment, because I'm studying 1 semester abroad. So it would be nice, if someone has a solution or maybe knows what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerly,
