So this issue started a few days ago. I put my laptop (ASUS K53E, a bit old) to sleep, nothing I haven’t done before. Later when I tried turning it on the screen stayed black, but the machine was obviously powered on. I can hear the fans, and the DVD player seems to spin a few times. The only strange thing is that the HDD LED light at the bottom turns off after a second of powering up.
I’ve tried removing the battery, holding the power button for several seconds (up to a minute), even changed the RAM slot. I’m just extremely confused, as if it were the HD’s fault wouldn’t I still be able to access the BIOS? And if it’s the GPU, why would the HD LED light turn itself off.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?
