| Message-ID | <mvorha$mpr$1@news.albasani.net> |
System: ASUS N61JQ (laptop) Host OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS After a power outage yesterday, pressing the power button of ASUS laptop does nothing. The laptop was/is connected to an APC battery backup (surge protection only) outlet (via AC adapter). AC adapter's green light is "on". Any ideas?

Have you removed both the power and the battery and held the power button down 45 sec -- followed by restoring power and powering on again? -- Mike Easter

Laptop does not start. Is it bad power jack or motherboard? http://www.insidemylaptop.com/laptop-does-not-start-bad-power-jack-motherboard/ Yikes! Sounds like some dismantling/surgery may be required. :-)

It also lists the circumstances under which the failure modes are occurring. It would appear that the battery "watchdog" circuitry Asus incorporated into at least this model of their laptop line has some problems. A slight dip in the output of the power adapter or even too much ripple voltage presented by it when loaded may be what is going on. The new ones seemed to only be $12 to $15.

It is always nice to have backup power supplies in the "dongle" or "wallwart" realm anyway, since most are ultrasonically sealed and unserviceable.

A new AC adapter did the trick. Nothing else seems to be wrong with my laptop. But, the reviews for the Antec NP90 that I bought is not that great and was not cheap ($40+). But, it has AQ3 (3-year parts & labor) warranty. Any Universal 90W Notebook Power Adapter 19V recommendations? Also, how can I prevent this from happening again? The problem is with the power circuitry internal to the ASUS laptop, right?

But, good news is that the battery pack seems to be in good condition. It took about 45 minutes to fully charge. And, battery feels cool to the touch, which is good to have as little heat as possible. > > Also, how can I prevent this from happening again? > The problem is with the power circuitry internal to the ASUS laptop, > right? >

Could be lower power than it is actually rated, OR it could actually be doing a better job and is exhibiting more heat due to the heavier initial charge cycle while running.

I'm surprise that they don't have that ac adapter plug connector better standardized.
