ASUS G73JHA1 Notebook Questions & Answers
Computer say its always charging even when not on charger
Based on the symptoms I would suspect a failed lithium battery. Most people think they should keep their lithium batteries at 100% but that actually shortens the life (number or recharges). I always suggest that you should try and let your laptop run down to 50% before recharging. Leaving a laptop constantly plugged in results in the same outcome - constant recharging of small amounts so you can see that the 'life cycle' is related to the number of times you recharge and if you are constantly doing it then you will most likely be shortening the battery's useful life. Unfortunatley most laptops will not run without the battery so the user's only option is to run their laptops on battery and not plugged in to AC until at least 50% dissapation thus optimizing the battery.
Just in case you have not done this, try removing and reseating the battery. Jarring of the laptop can somtines alter a good connection but from what you said it is unlikely.
My computer all lights start flashing. i can't boot
Andy,
Check for bad battery as this is the likely culprit. All laptops require a functioning battery to power up. Years ago manuf. re-designed this because people were using laptops without batteries and would get micro-surges that trashed their mainboard so most if not all laptops require a good battery in place to power up.
Let me know if that does not work for you and we'll look at some other areas
My keyboard won't light up
Did you hold down the [fn] key, in combination with the function keys? If not, you have to hold down the [fn] key in combination with pressing the function key's that are associated with the keyboard back-lighting (usually [F3] or [F4] on an ASUS G-series).
How to light keyboard
Press and hold the [fn] key (between [ctrl] and [windows button]), while pressing [F3] to dim, or [F4] to brighten the keyboard back-lighting.

Right after you press the start (power on) button for the notebook, tap the F9 key about once every second (do NOT hold the button down, as this will cause the machine to think there is a problem with the keyboard, and generate a 303 KEYBOARD ERRER) to take you into the system repair subroutine. There should be an option for "Factory Restore", however, you'll may need to dig a little to find it. Once you select the factory restore option and the process begins, DO NOT interrupt the restore process at ANY time!!! (also, be sure the notebook is plugged in to an AC outlet, as battery power may not be sufficient for this task, and the restore process goes fast on AC power anyway.

Hello. This is what I do every time my keyboard lights go off. Go to program. Click open Asus Utilities, Click open e-driver, which will let you down load all the drivers for your Asus computer. You should see a number of options you can pick to down load or pick ATK Package for keyboard lights. I usually down load everything in case there was an update for my drivers. Good luck: Daryl White
