My ASUS U50F turns off when it is connected to the AC adaptor.. I am using my ASUS U50F and it is plugged to the outlet, it turns off automatically.. I need to take out the battery and turn it on again for it to turn on.. What happened? What am I supposed to do? This is a new unit.. Not that new, but it's still 7 months old..

Best solution....Go to www.asus.com download the manual for that motherboard and read up on the allowable cpu's for that motherboard.

Have you tried to do a system restore? Maybe a "Cold Start", remove the AC plug, remove the AC plug, hold doen the on/off button for 10 seconds, replace battery, plug into AC outlet, re-boot. If that fails try again this time repeatedly tapping the F-8 key so you have options to restore/recovery etc.

Make sure the internal VGA cable is connected on both ends and that the scree power is plugged in a good rule to follow when building/putting back together laptops is to try to test it with everything plugged in before screwing hope that helps =]

Hi,
Welcome to FixYa!
Im very sorry to hear that, please follow these simple steps for you to be able to isolate the exact problem.


1. Removed the battery.
2. Connect the laptop directly to the power outlet without using the battery just for the meantime.
3. Turn on the laptop. If the laptop is able to power on, that means that the AC adapter is working fine as well as the DC port. If the laptop is not able to turn on, it maybe the AC adapter itself or the DC port.
4. Try to use another AC adapter if possible, make sure that that AC adapter is working fine. If the laptop is still not turning on, the problem is with the DC port itself. In that case, you will need to replaced the Motherboard itself.


Hope this will help...Thank you for using Fixya...

Before you panic see if there is some hidden reset code from the manufacturer. If not, then you get concerned.
Check to see if you are using the right protocol to get it out of the hibernate mode.

Your battery might be completely drained. Remove your battery and and plug your laptop directly to the power outlet using just your laptop's AC Adaptor. If should now work with the battery being bypassed.

If it won't work in this way (connecting to AC Power with the battery removed), there must be something wrong with your laptop's board.

Maybe your battery is totally drained.

Try to connect the AC adaptor of your laptop and plug it to the wall outlet and let it charge for 3 hours or more. When you plug it on the wall socket, it won't show the laptop's led blinking since it was totally drained. But after 3 minutes or more, it will start to show the blinking led to indicate charging. When blinking stops led light disappears, it is fully charged and ready to use.

Remember: Do not use your laptop while it is plugged in to save your battery life. When at home, remove the battery while it is fully charged and plug the AC adaptor directly to the wall outlet. It will still work without the battery as long as it is plugged directly to the wall socket.

Cameras can't upload if low on power. Charge batteries or plug in the ac adaptor to an outlet and try again.

Hi! TRY THESE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET YOU POWERED UP! :)



Confirm the system is not in HOLD mode
Make sure the PSP system is not in Hold Mode (in the down position). Slide the Power/Hold switch up to clear Hold Mode. Or try sliding the Power/Hold switch up and holding it there until the power indicator light turns off and the PSP system is completely turned off. Then try turning the PSP on again.

• Confirm the backlight is ON
  Make sure the LCD screen's backlight is not turned off. If it is, press any button to turn ON the backlight.
  
  
• Confirm use of only licensed products (AC Adaptor, battery pack and charger)
  The AC Adaptor, battery pack and battery charger must be licensed for use with the PSP system. All licensed products for use with the PSP will have the following logos displayed directly on the product and/or the packaging:
  
  If any of the products you are using does not have these logos on them, we recommend that you immediately discontinue the use of these products, as they void the PSP system's warranty, and can cause damage to the system. See compatible peripherals for the PSP system for a full list of supported products.
  There are some products that can be used with the PSP system that may not display our logos. Products such as San Disk 1GB Memory Sticks, or various USB cables, needs only to be genuinely certified. Look for the genuine certified logos on these products or contact the company which manufactures these products for more information.
  
  
• Confirm the battery pack is correctly inserted
  Make sure the battery pack is in its proper position (see inserting the battery pack for details).
  
  
• Try the battery pack only
  Unplug the AC adaptor from the PSP system. Make sure a charged PSP battery pack is inserted inside the PSP system. Turn on the unit. If you get power, then the problem may be with the AC adaptor and power cord.
  
  
• Try the battery pack in a different PSP system
  If possible, try your PSP battery pack in a different PSP system. If your battery works on a different PSP system, it may indicate an issue with your PSP system.
  
  
• Try a different PSP battery pack
  If possible, try a different battery in your PSP system. If a different battery pack does work on your PSP system, it may indicate an issue with the original battery pack.
  
  
• Try the AC adaptor and the PSP battery pack
  Insert the battery pack and plug in the AC adaptor. If you still do not get any power, your PSP system may need to be sent in for service (see PSP Service for details).
  
  
• Try the AC adaptor / power cord only
  Turn off the PSP system, unplug the AC adaptor, and remove the battery. Now plug in the AC adaptor to the PSP system with the battery removed. Confirm the AC adaptor and power cord are firmly connected to each other. Now make sure they are also firmly connected to the PSP system and the electrical outlet.
  If the PSP system powers on, the battery may need to be replaced.
  
  
• Check AC adaptor and power cord for damage
  Visually inspect the AC adaptor and the power cord for damage. Do not use if frayed, cut, or damaged in any way.
  
  
• Check the electrical outlet
  Confirm the electrical outlet that you are using is active (receiving power). Try using a different electrical outlet.
  
  
• Try a different AC adaptor and power cord
  If possible, try a different AC adaptor and power cord. If a different AC adaptor and power cord does not work, the PSP system may need to be sent in for service (see PSP Service for details).
  
  
• Confirm no unauthorized system software or downloads were used
  Confirm that you have not used any unauthorized system software updates or downloads on the PSP system. Use of such unauthorized firmware updates voids the warranty and can damage the PSP system.
  
  
• WLAN turned off
  Make sure the wireless (WLAN) network function is not in use while charging. The battery pack cannot be recharged when the WLAN function is being used.
  
  
• Power surge
  If you experienced a power surge, shortage, or a lightning storm in your geographical area recently, this may have affected the PSP system's power supply. Please contact Consumer Services below for information.

Hi

If the AC power light is blinking, try the following steps:

1 Cut off power to the computer by disconnecting the AC adaptor and removing the battery. The error condition will be interrupted, and the AC power light will stop flashing.

2 Put the battery back into the computer. Do not connect the AC adaptor. Try turning the computer on again. If the computer starts normally, the AC adaptor may be
defective and will need to be replaced. If the AC power light starts flashing, remove the battery, and continue with the steps below.

3 Connect the AC adaptor to the computer. Leave the battery out of the computer. Try turning the computer on again. If the computer starts normally, the battery may need charging, may be depleted, or may be defective. Turn the computer on, insert the battery, and then leave the computer running for several hours, which will deliver a slow, steady “trickle-charge” to the battery. Once the battery has been trickle-charged, it may begin working correctly again. If the trickle-charging does not prove effective, consider replacing the battery with a new one.

4 Connect the AC adaptor to a different power outlet, preferably in a different room. If the computer starts normally, there may be a problem with the AC outlet itself, or the voltage level available from it.

5 Verify that the AC adaptor is the correct unit for your computer model. The computer may not be able to start from an AC adaptor that is rated for less current (amperage) than the computer requires, even if the rated voltage is correct, and the plug fits correctly in the DC-IN socket. The labels on the bottom of the computer and the AC adaptor show the specifications for voltage ("V") and current ("A") for each device. The voltage level must match exactly. The amperage rating of the AC adaptor must be equal to or greater than that required by the computer
