    Asus P2520L starts and stops ok but no display

    Model Asus P2520L
    MB P552LA_LJ Rev 2.1 with soldered I3 5010U processor

    The laptop charges battery and seem to react to power on, power off, reset regularly, but nothing appears on screen or HDMI or VGA monitor.
    Same behaviour when running on battery only, on mains only or on both.
    Battery charges fine. RTC battery ok at 3.025V.
    When powered on the power on led lits, after a short while the HDD led flashes, but no video. All voltages seem present. ALL_SYSTEM_PWRGD is present, BUFF_PLT_RST# goes high. CPU warms up and fan starts and stop from time to time. Pressing the power button regularly stops the laptop and keeping it pressed for a while regularly resets it ok.
    SIO chip replaced and reflashed BIOS with ASUS FW ver 206 and 207 with ME cleaned : same problem.
    Tried swapping memory slots and tried different ram stick.

    I am looking for suggestions on things to check to solve the problem or to better understand the power on sequence (do you know of any good tutorial ?). It is not clear to me the sequence of events that takes place after the POST and all tensions are present and BUFF_PLT_RST# goes up, when the RAM memory is checked, when the BIOS chip is read, when the IO is adressed, When the video subsystem is initialised, when the boot starts etc

    In this case the flash of the HDD led might be a clue?

    Thanks in advance

    DRAMRST# present? Check powergood signals one by one.

      Update
      I checked DRAMRST_R#:
      with ram stick installed :1.37V
      without RAM stick : 0.12V

        Ram is soldered onboard?

          Sorry for late reply, but I've been away a few days.

          there are 2 ram slots, no soldered ram. I'v tried 2 different ram modules in both slots.

          PCH_DPWROK = 3.3V
          ME_AC_PRESENT = 3.3V
          +1_05VM_PWRGD =1.63V (+1_05VM = 1.06V)
          1_35V_PWRGD =3.4V
          3VA_DSW_PWRGD =3.4V
          ALL_SYSTEM_PWRGD =3.36V
          VCCST_PWRGD = 1.04V
          +3VSUS_PWRGD = 3.38V
          +5VSUS_PWRGD = 3.44V
          +1_05VS_PWRGD =3.3V
          CORE_PWRGD = 3.3V (VCCIN = 1.65V)

          I don't know if +1_05VM_PWRGD value at 1.63V is correct or should be 3.3V The voltage +1_05VM voltage is present and correct.
          Same for VCCST_PWRGD.

          Any suggestion? thanks
