- Buggy external devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Corrupted or outdated graphic drivers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Incorrect hardware configuration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bad sectored hard drives<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Outdated BIOS<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Best Fixes to Fix ASUS Laptop Won’t Turn On Issue<\/strong><\/h2>Despite all the above reasons, you can still fix the ASUS laptop issue. Continue reading to learn how to turn on the ASUS laptop using the following methods.<\/p>
#1 Remove external devices<\/strong><\/h3>First, see if there’s any external device connected to your laptop. Be it an external keyboard, mouse, printer, hard drive, SD card, USB drive, or optical media, a damaged external drive can conflict with your working laptop and cause it not to boot properly. Hence, remove all the external devices and try rebooting your system to check if the issue is solved.<\/p>
#2 Perform CMOS reset<\/strong><\/h3>If the CMOS battery fails, you may experience a failed BIOS update, frequent system start-up, and even your ASUS laptop won’t turn on in the worst case scenario. In that case, you can clear CMOS<\/a> to restore the hardware in your system to its default condition.<\/p>To do so, remove the power adapter and then perform the CMOS reset. Once done, connect the adapter and turn on your system with the power button to see if the system boots properly.<\/p>
Note:<\/strong> Don’t remove the adapter for TP420IA and UX425IA notebook models to perform a CMOS reset. It should be performed while the adapter remains connected.<\/p>#3 Hard Reboot Your System<\/strong><\/h3>Another solution you can try is performing EC reset\/Hard reset. Many users have been able to fix the ASUS laptop won’t turn on issue by simply performing a hard reset<\/a> on their ASUS laptops<\/p>\n- Disconnect or remove all the external devices connected to your system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Turn off your system and disconnect the charger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Press and hold the power key for about 30-40 seconds, and once done, reconnect the charger\/power adapter to turn on the system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
#4 Update\/Reinstall the Graphic Drivers<\/strong><\/h3>If you see the Windows logo during system boot, but the screen turns black, and your ASUS laptop doesn’t turn on, it might be due to outdated or corrupted graphic drivers. In this case, you can start your PC in Safe Mode<\/a> and then update or reinstall the graphic drivers from your system. Follow the given steps:<\/p>Update Graphic Drivers<\/strong><\/p>\n- Open Device Manager<\/strong> from the Start<\/strong> menu (Windows + X).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>
![\"open-Device-Manager-from-Start-Menu\"](\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/open-Device-Manager-from-Start-Menu.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n- Locate and expand the Display adapters<\/strong> category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the driver, right-click on it, and choose the Update driver<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
![\"select-update-driver-option\"](\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/select-update-driver-option.jpg\")
<\/figure>Windows will start looking for the latest driver available. Once available, download the driver and reboot your system to see if the problem is solved.<\/p>
Uninstall and then Reinstall Graphic Drivers<\/strong><\/p>\n- Access Device Manager<\/strong> and then expand the Display adapters<\/strong> category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Now, right-click on the driver and select Uninstall Device<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
![\"uninstall-device-from-device-manager\"](\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/uninstall-device-from-device-manager.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n- Click ‘Attempt to remove the driver for this device’<\/strong> and then click Uninstall<\/strong> on the following prompt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
![\"mark-attempr-to-remove-driver-for-this-device-and-click-Uninstall\"](\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/mark-attempr-to-remove-driver-for-this-device-and-click-Uninstall.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n- Once done, reboot your system. Now, visit the driver manufacturer’s official site and reinstall the driver software compatible with your system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
#5 Run CHKDSK Command<\/strong><\/h3>If your ASUS won’t turn on usually and show you a black screen with the error message “S.M.A.R.T Status Bad. Press F1 to Resume,” it means there’s improper hardware configuration or hard drives with bad sectors installed on the system. Hard resetting your system or <\/a>restoring BIOS<\/a> can fix the hardware configuration. To solve the hard drive issues, you can run the CHKDSK command following the given instructions:<\/p>\n- Go to Windows Search (Windows + S<\/strong>), type cmd<\/strong>, and then choose to run Command Prompt as administrator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Next, in the elevated Command Prompt window, type CHKDSK \/f \/r<\/strong> D: <\/strong>command and hit Enter<\/strong>. (Don’t forget to replace D:<\/strong> with your drive letter.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>
![\"run-chkdsk-command\"](\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/run-chkdsk-command.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n- The command will scan the drive for bad sectors, mark them, and prevent Windows from reading or storing data from those sectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Note:<\/strong> If not executed properly, the chkdsk command may cause inadvertent data loss. In case, you end up losing files before taking backup, use professional data recovery software<\/a><\/strong> to restore them.<\/p>\n- Once done, close the window and restart your system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
#6 Update BIOS<\/strong><\/h3>Lastly, if you still face the ASUS laptop not turning on or showing a black screen issue, you might need to update the BIOS. Enter the BIOS recovery mode and download the BIOS update utility from MyASUS or ASUS support site. Select your laptop’s specifications, check for the update, and click the Install<\/strong> button to update the BIOS<\/a>.<\/p>Caution<\/strong>: Be careful while following the instructions for updating BIOS. A single mistake while updating BIOS could lead to a system crash and permanent data loss. Therefore, ensure that you have backed up your entire laptop data before the process. If the system backup is unavailable, use powerful data recovery software, such as Stellar Data Recovery Professional<\/a>. The software will help you quickly restore files from non-booting or crashed Windows PCs and laptops.<\/figure>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
