My Asus X5A1U recently turned off today while I was in the middle of working on a project. It didn't BSOD or flick off, the screen simply turned off with the sound of the hard drive disk spinning to a stop.
I immediately held down the power button for about one minute, which did nothing. I then grabbed my charger and connected it, and tried turning it on again, with no change in result. I asked my friend to come over with his own laptop and charger (we bought them together last Boxing Day). My charger worked on his laptop, and his charger does NOT work on my laptop.
The bottom panel lights do not turn on when either of the chargers were connected. (see page 18, here, http/dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/X541SA/0409_E11304_X441_X541_A.pdf?_ga=1.256280267.1362619893.1492265352, for how they are supposed to work when the lights are working properly)
The battery is not removable.
Is there anything that I can do to restart my machine? I'd really rather not wait for Monday to send this laptop to Asus and then have to wait for it to come back. Thank you for any help you can give me.
