Hey All,
So I'm running an Asus G-55VW... I run it without a battery, on direct power (for various reasons). Anyway it was working fine, until it quite suddenly just went off. I tried booting it again, and it didn't work. All that happened was the backlit power button light up a little. (Brightness of 4, on a scale of 1-10)
Now usually on start up, all the backlit keys light up and the monitor comes on. None of that happens now. Just the Power button lighting up, that 4 on 10 brightness, and nothing else. The monitor remains off.
I have 2 chargers for the laptop, and tested both, and both are working fine. So the laptop receives the power, but isn't able to use it.
I'm certain it's a hardware issue. I'm really worried the motherboard is fried. Any idea how I check? And if it is fried, is there any way I can retrieve data from the laptop?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
