Z92T/A6T won't boot up!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I bought a Z92T in December, it worked fine for 2 weeks and then it stopped working: it would not boot up, I would press the power button and nothing happened (the battery would charge but the laptop would not turn on with or without the battery).

So I sent it to Asus for repair, it took 4 weeks for then to send it back to me with a new battery. Now, 2 weeks later, the problem started happening again in a different way (power light would turn green but nothing happened, if I resetted the laptop it would work with a cmos error msg asking me to reset to bios defaults and then worked) and finally, yesterday it just stopped working (same error as before: won't turn on... seems dead again).

I just noticed there is a red light inside the laptop (next to the SD drive bay on the right side) when the laptop is off (if there is a battery on or power is plugged in). Does anyone know what it is or know where to find a motherboard diagram for me to identify it?

The problem started when I started using the laptop on my bed (it heats up a lot in there but never crashes and performance is always great)... maybe that has an effect on the battery/power connections?

Does anyone have any ideas? I have also updated the BIOS to the latest version a couple of days before it stopped working.

Somebody on the forum had this problem before with a z70 but could get the laptop to run if it was plugged in with no battery, this didn't work for me, unfortunately.

I don't really trust the Asus guys as they took 4 weeks to fix something that didn't turn out to be right so I really need your help!

Thanks in advance!

Same problem here !. Battery will charge else 'dead as a dodo'. No lamps whatsoever, have tried with battery both in & out no change. Guess it's a case of "HOUSTON we have a problem!"

I suspect a MB problem so back to ASUS. Please keep us informed as to your progress. As a matter of interest (not related to this problem) Does any one know where the 'lid switch is on ASUS A6000 series is ?.

For a6000, lid switch is in display lid, below the display. It's magnetic, magnet is inside the laptop, symmetrically to the switch. You can find magnet using paper clip...
