So my Asus G750JM which i purchased around March of 2014 is completely dead. It shut off and will not power on anymore, when plugged in none of the lights even light up.
- I have two AC adapters, both of which are working (tested with multimeter)
- I tried with and without the battery
- I tried with and without the HDD installed
- I tried reseating the RAM
- I tried the trick where you remove the battery, CMOS battery, and AC adapter, then hold power button for 45 seconds
- I checked all of the ports making sure there is no damage or anything in there causing a short of some sort
- I opened it up, there was hardly any dust, there doesn't appear to be any visible damage or odors from any components
This laptop is not even two years old, and it is completely dead. Before it died, I also had several other problems with it, including but not limited to.
- Dust particles between the LCD and backlight (seriously asus?)
- Defective audio jack (replaced)
- Defective AC adapter (replaced)
- Screen fluttering out of control when hinge is in certain positions (still defective)
- Speakers cut out at high volume and don't work properly until playing with volume for a bit (still defective)
- Windows 10 does not have proper touchpad drivers (stop recommending people upgrade to it, please)
I've worked as a computer technician and as a software engineer for many years, I know my way around a computer inside and out. I have owned many laptops over the years and I have to say without a doubt that this is the biggest pile of junk I have ever owned.
I would like any advice anyone has to revive my laptop from the dead so I don't have to purchase a whole new one.
Don't tell me to send it back to ASUS for repair unless it's free, I am not spending hundreds and waiting a month to fix this I would rather sell it for parts and buy a new one.
