I own an ASUS U65E, for some reason; the computer won't turn on after pressing the button. I have tried to reset the PC, removing the battery and what not.. Still nothing. To top it off, the battery light is on, without the pc actually being on. Help me please, it's a great laptop.

All right so you tried removing the battery and the power supply and held down the power button 30 seconds. Then plug into the AC adapter and tried to start it?

The PSU is unlikely to be dead if the indicator light comes on, anyway.

Maybe your power button is stuck/misaligned

I'm fairly sure the PSU and motherboard are fine; simply because the indicator light is on. Is my only other option to bring it in to be diagnosed?

If you tried to plug it with out the PSU, just the adapter, then it isn't your PSU obviously.

It depends on how comfortable you are with laptop repair. You could try to take off the bezzle and see if the power button is misaligned. I have had to do that before and it isn't that difficult.

In my experience if a hard reset/static-discharge (the method I described above) doesn't work and the power-button isn't misaligned then it may be something more serious, like a blown capacitor in the motherboard.

Do you know where I can find a direction page to taking it a part?

If it is the latter, which I think it is this laptop has a reset hole on the bottom...see here:http://support.asus.com/Troubleshooting/detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&m=U56E&s=343&hashedid=6KBv9FLOCOczEXLJ&os=&no=1028

Asus® U56E-XR2-CBIL, does that help at all?

No answer, but likely contributing semi-conductor EE semi-conductor thermal engineering / humidity limitations.

First, water conducts electricity.

Second, I killed the wife's Zenbook.

She still doesn't know, but I suspect I know why its power dead, quite possibly a root cause of many other Zenbook fails.

I downloaded a game for my kid. It's highly graphic-CPU intensive, as the fan is on in <15 minutes and the Z'book gets hot. Every 30 min, I opted to unplug, as Z'book fan is working overtime to try to cool a VERY hot left keyboard corner / power supply - video processor.

I don't believe the Zenbook was meant for intensive and sustained compute-intensive video graphics.

It's either going to over-heat and have processor fail for semi-conductor thermal limitations, or if cooled too quickly, when shut off, absorb and condense resident environmental humidity to short out critical elements lending to grant of main and/or battery energy supply.

Still looking for means to reset what I see as a now dried out short circuit, on the premise I didn't actually damage a what should have been moisture protected circuit for its heat profile.....

Hopefully I'll learn an answer to share.

Was this problem ever resolved? I'm now having the same issue seemingly with my ASUS U56E and I am not sure if it's out of warranty or not, but I can't find the receipt for it. I've had it over a year. I'd really like to find out what's going on with this machine.
