Issue with Asus G73sw

lol dont worry , there wont be any probs for now because your laptop is stable now try hooking up the power adapter. and do a restart.

If i were you, i would run a full diagnostic on my HDD as well just to be safe, the issue you described in your first post could have been a driver locking up, although i'm not certain why the laptop wouldn't post afterwards.

hey did you keep your laptop ON for 1 hour when it was in bricked state???
and next time you turned on with battery so asus logo poped up is it??

So.....I'm back to the original problem.....screen lights up when power is on but no Asus logo

However, I think I have some clues on what the problem is. I was in the process of reinstalling Norton Internet Security due to an error (8504, 104) preventing Norton to launch. When I am visiting the Norton page on internet I get a warning about a bad video card driver (Nvidia Verde driver 290 something beta version) and that the system has restored it and a few seconds later the screen flickers and the laptop powers down. Now I am unable to get the laptop started again (screen lights up but no logo).

I am guessing a bad video card driver is not a warranty issue ? Anything I can do ? For some reason I thought that I had the system recovery DVD but I just found out that it was not included with the Asus G73sw and I have not made recovery DVDs

I guess I am back to try and get the laptop started and then try to reinstall the video card driver.

remove both the hdd and turn on , and go into bios and set defaults. and reinstall hdd back and try turnin on.

my RMA was due to GPU driver.

Yesterday I went to the service shop with my laptop (luckily the Asus partner has a service shop in the town I live ). Today I see on the service case online that they have ordered a new VGA board and lcd screen. Lets hope they are able to fix it this time

That was definitely a hardware issue, not driver.
