Tried to turn my ASUS X553M on this evening and it won't turn on - with the cord plugged in, there is a (faint, slightly flickering) green light appearing on the front of the laptop - but no other signs of life and no response from the Power on button. I freelance, so my laptop is completely essential - any tips for getting this sorted?

Thanks!

Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. First make sure the device has been charged.
2. Unplug your charger cord.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
5. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
6. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.
