Was doing a reinstall today on my A4K laptop when it was up to the last point and doing a restart and it died

Only thing i get is the Asus logo so wondered what the plan of attack should be to see what the problem is

So, when you turn it on all you see is the Asus logo? Do you see the screen where it reads your memory and detects your drives?

Only ever get to see the Asus logo it doesn't show the bios bit

so you cant F2 or whatever it is and get into the bios?

is there a bios battery hidden somewhere that you can remove and reset it?

Just removed the battery and get the first screen showing installed memory and hard drive but can't get into bios setup

i have a funny feeling the hard drive gone which is going to be fun getting out as the heatsink is in the way so may try a phillips drill bit and a pair of pliers to get them out as don't fancy removing the heatsink

I'm a noob

just found out that you give it a pull with the cord and it pops out

also took harddrive out and now i can get into bios so it looks like that's the problem

yea - typically boot/get to the bios, pull all hardware out except cpu, ram, video and work up from there 1 component at a time

looks like a nice heatsink for a laptop

At long last have my laptop up and running again which was down to the hard drive as just installed my new Western Digital Scorpio Blue and windows 7

it's true what they say about new hard drives it's like i have a new laptop as it's running a lot faster plus it's soooooooooooooo quiet

Glad to hear you've got it all sorted, and you are Happy!
