John, most monitors made have no service guide. all are different, every brand and every model some of this thin devices, like this are snap apart and some are glued (using glue not unlike "stickynotes" they do that also to make it water proof (limited) so that makes it super hard to repair, just like many notepads, or both. they are all very tricky to work on, (that is the price for thin) the users manual at asus has no facts here. nor do they list a service manual on it. (sad) google for it or youtube it is the only way. ill looked on youtube, see nada buy dead one on ebay,learn to take the dead one apart first then work on yours. other than that, call ASUS, ask for service manual or google all week,

Wait until the installer prompts you. The generic mouse driver in bios is not good for the mouse you are using.

I just had a similar problem with the same Asus model. It drained the battery yesterday and today wouldn't start even after charging for 15min (the middle light was on so it was charging). The light bulb light was on though even when it wasn't charging. Tried pressing the button several times. Didn't help. Tried holding it for several seconds. Didn't help. But when I hold the button for around 30sec the light bulb turned off. And then another press and it turned on as normal. So the laptop must have been hibernated/sleeping. But it did give me a heart attack, especially when I realised that I will have to take it to Currys for repair where their very unknowledgable KnowHow don't know how to fix anything (send a laptop three times and still didn't fix the problem, they only know how to install software updates).

Watch this YouTube video which explains how to replace the screen.

Via a cable, with an SD card, you could also email a copy to yourself if you set up email on your android tablet. There are many ways to do it.

check the power management options, UNDER settings and or control panel - you will be able to see the time like minutes and secs of the options to sleep and wake up

I think it is running a test mode. Some kind of button pressing combination might free it from this. It might go away if you can plug it into a vga source (pc, laptop) and hopefully change it from there. Good luck.

Do you know what model?

Try reseatting the DVD/CD drive also reinstall the DVD/CD driver.If this does not fix the problem then most likely the DVD/CD drive is faulty and then needs to be replaced.

I use VLC Media Player. It works great and it is free! Go ahead and Google VLC and it will lead you to this site: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html Hope this solves your problem. I assume you have Windows 10 at this point. Kind Regards; Craig in San Diego, CA

The Asus bios won't show SATA devices.
However if you are using Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (or newer operating system then the devices should be detected. If this is not happening then enter the bios -- Storage Configuration -- Configuration Enhanced and set the IDE devices to compatible. This allows all drives to be "seen" and you should then be able to load an OS.

There are several possible reasons for the DVI port not to provide a signal to the monitor. First, is this a desktop or laptop? For a desktop, do you have a video graphics card installed? If so, make sure that the DVI port to which you connected the cable is on the VGA card. Video ports on the motherboard will be disabled when the VGA card is active. Next check if the monitor is set to the correct source. Then turn off the computer and monitor. Turn on the monitor first and then the computer. This is the best way for the computer to find a new monitor. If this still fails, try a different DVI cable. If you are using an adapter, check that you have it in the direction. Not all adapters support two-way video signals. (This applies to most Display Port to DVI cables. It may happen with some HDMI to DVI cables.) If you are adding a second monitor, check the Display settings. (For most versions of Windows, right click on the desktop (no icons/programs) and look for a Display Settings button. For Windows 10, Start button > Settings > System > Display.) Use the Detect button to see if the computer has recognized the monitor. Then set up how you want the output to go to that monitor (duplicate screen or independent). If you have more than two monitors, check your hardware. Many computers will not support 3+ monitors unless Active Display Port adapters are used for the third and subsequent monitors. For a laptop, you may need to enable the external video adapter. Often this is disabled to save power. Enabling the adapter usually requires accessing the BIOS and that depends on the motherboard. You might need to press F1, Del or F2 repeatedly after turning on the computer. (There will be a splash screen that shows the appropriate key.) With Windows 10, the fast boot may make this impossible to see. From Windows, press Start and then power. Right-click on Restart to see the Advanced Restart menu and access your BIOS information. If the port is active, then see the above section on the Display Settings to have Windows send data to the monitor. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

ok , what OS came on this new? for sure dont use w8, as the wifi engine it it is JUNK totally junk from MS.com i see Asus offered a free w10 upgrade, google searched 1st hit. says clear as day, not all features work, if done why not just leave it at w7 ? 1st and always, connect the PC directly from PC ethernet jack cable to router now the web works, and now the magic PNP works microsoft plug and play works, so does that cure the dead wifi chip? i can not know what chip is inside your PC for wifi, as the makers uses like 5 kinds even on one model. (what's on sale i guess.?) but they do. so only drivers for that unknown chip work in a real shop we run app called PCI-z, or the like. and see what chip it is then if the chip is dead, we get the driver from ASUS direct or from the chip maker, like say broadcom. here are the correct paths in order 1:MS PnP autoloaded driver, 2: Asus driver off their set 3: chip makers driver only those work and only those are virus free, ok? 1,2,3. only there is 1 exception but lets skip that, for now. if the ethernet cable fails, that is very bad, and very rare. for sure w10, plug and play on modern PCs supports all ethernent your support site is here https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/X551CA/HelpDesk_Download/ the ATK fixes, w10 compat. issues. asus does not disclose what chips are on the mobo , in there lame spec,page, (par) but we have tools do that , in all cases. so.... spec be damned. look at that page, you see all drivers are missing there this is like marketing ploy, (goons) that can communicate facts. it should say at the top, this. "ALL drivers for this product not seen below are at ms.com" did you install w10 64bit fresh (not 32 !!!) and did the ethernet cable run from PC to router if not OOP that was wrong, that 1st step. let the installer reach the MS servers, here that server is if curious. http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=PCI%5cVEN_10DE%26DEV_11C6 connect ethernet to PC RJ45 to router, cat 5 cable is ok, then boot the DVD< w10 or ISO built uSB stick. now fresh load w10-64bit, and all chips in the PC should hit the deck running. ok?
