Hi,
so I have this one Asus GL702VM here where sometimes the Laptop has no signs of life after being turned off, hence no LED anywhere.
The Laptop was at a repair shop before with the note that the MB was defective but the part isnt available anymore.
Either way, if I remove the keyboard ribbon cable and short the pins, the laptop turns on, no problem. If i turn it off and put the KB cable back in i get no LED again.
If i turn the laptop on, put it in hibernation, plug the keyboard back in it works fine. No problems at all.
The aforementioned error also doesnt happen every time. Sometimes it turns on perfectly fine, sometimes the failure occurs.
I have gotten the laptop to show this failure by unplugging the charger and leaving it shut off for the night.
Shut off with the charger doesnt seem to trigger this failure yet I only have it for 3 days.
I suspect that... something is shorting on the KB. Sometimes. But then again, if the error is acute and i start the laptop by shorting the pins, plug the KB back in it works perfectly normal.
any ideas?
Changing the KB probably isnt an option as this would totally ruin my margin for the device
