So I bought an ASUS g74sx on Newegg a few days ago. When I recieved it, everything worked fine. I booted it up intially, installed a few games and software, THEN......... I installed the Nvidia GTX 560m graphics driver which required a restart after the install. So when I restarted it, the computer turn off. When I pressed the on button, all the lights and fans turn on but nothing else. The screen was black and sat still (no hardrive churns no nothing.) I tried hard restarting it by holding the on/off button and starting it back up but still the same thing.
Then I decided to do a static drain. (What everyone said to do on the internet.) I powered it off, remove the a/c cord and battery, and held down the on/off button for 45 seconds. (Light when on for a millisecond). After 45 seconds, I plugged it back in and reinserted the battery.= and hit the on/off button. NOTHING HAPPENED!! The laptop seem 100% dead! no lights no nothing. I tried the static drain multiple times over and nothing happens! I tried removing the HDD and RAM and reinserting it but still nothing....... WORST CASE SCENARIO IS THE MOTHERBOARD OR ANY OTHER INTERALS ARE FRIED OR BURNT. But I doubt any is fried because a small amount of static isnt enough energy to burn or melt anything. Please help!
I know some of you are going to tell me to get it exchanged or something but I want to see what you guys can help me with before I attept to get it exchanged.
