Namely right after I bought the system I did a completely fresh install of win8 and remember having to sift through the various Asus bloatware identifying what I needed. I had the thought that this may have happened and the utility failed but I have doubts about this. Read somewhere on Asus forums that ASUS preloads comp with a utility that will auto scan the internet and automatically update bios without notifying the user. This is an ASUS laptop and the caps lock only blinked on the initial reboot proceeding this problem but I still found this interesting.Ģ. For continuous blinking it listed power problem, but for other blink speeds it listed cpu, mobo, or video card failure.
Thank you!Īs well means several things depending on how fast the caps lock is blinking. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
Also I had the thought of flashing the bios via usb flash drive, but I am unsure how to do this blindy(would have to flash bios with a black screen). I was thinking of dissassembling it and pulling the cmos battery or does it use jumpers on board to clear CMOS? Would clearing the cmos even likely do anything? I would rather not disassemble the entire computer if the chance is low that it will even solve it. I doubt this would work anyway cause pretty sure a Windows driver has to load to have hdmi display output to tv and my laptop gets nowhere near loading Windows.Īll things I have tried still produce same result. Connected HDMI cable to laptop going to tv.no image on tv either. Tried with only stock hard drive and tried with no hard drive.Ĩ. Remove all hard drives, computer came stock with 750gb drive I added a ssd shortly after purchase. Esc mashing to get into boot order selection. Fn+f7 to toggle laptop display on/off, fn+f6 to increase display brightness.Ħ. F9 mashing to get into some Windows 8.1 recovery thing I read about.ĥ. Remove battery hold power button 2 minutes, connect to ac adapter turn on then turn off, insert battery turn on.Ĥ. Remove battery, try run on ac adapter only.Ģ. Black screen, no back light on keyboard or any lit keys(caps lock, num lock), ROG logo on lid not lit up, no ROG screen on startup.ġ. WiFi light comes on for a second when powering off.ģ. HD light comes on for a second upon startup. Battery charge light will come on if I plug in ac adapter. Indicator lights on-far left light (power) and far right light(num lock). Now when booting up the following occurs:ġ. I let this go on for about a minute and then powered machine off. So, computer was installing updates for Windows 8.1 and upon reboot caps lock light was flashing constantly and black screen.
