New Asus U47A won't turn on, BIOS updated.
I just bought this laptop last saturday. About 30 minutes after I first turned it on, it suddenly turned itself off. In the last days it happened three times, so I searched for symptoms like that in other forums.
A lot of people said it was a common problem with Asus computers, some updated the bios and problem gone, others just didn't care that much.
Today I decided to update bios in hopes that it would solve the problem. I had the version 302 and updated to 407 as it was listed as the latest bios available for my laptop. I successfully updated it via the Bios utility EZFlash. Then I wanted to remove all installed software from factory, so I formatted hdd and clean installed windows 7.
Computer was working fine, but I couldn't get my keyboard backlight to turn on so I updated all drivers. It didn't work, so next thing I did was to restore Bios defaults, then saved changes and restarted.
Problem started there, the laptop just won't turn on. When I press the Power button, keyboard backlight turns on, also an LED with a lightbulb symbol and the one for the hard drive. 3 seconds later the hard drive LED and the keyboard backlight go off, the other LED with the lightbulb stays on. The FAN turns and stays on all the time. No beeps and nothing on the screen.
I just bought this computer in the US because I was on a trip so computer has no warranty.
What do you think the problem might be?
