Very sick M515UA

k0gu
Star I
System: Win 10 64
Battery or AC: AC
Model: M515UA
Frequency of occurrence: always
Reset OS:
Screenshot or video:
========================
Detailed description:Hope I'm in the right group. My M515UA-EB72 has no display on the screen, keyboard and pad does not work. HDMI video is OK and a USB keyboard/mouse work OK. There is no post screen on the HDMI unfortunately. If I try and do much of anything in the troubleshoot section it hangs up and I have to disconnect power, hold the power button down for 20 seconds and then it eventuality comes up at the Win 10 login window.
It happened the first time a few days after I upgraded to Windows 11. I went back to Win 10 and all was OK but now the problem is also on Win 10. HELP please...

method 1

The 8GB of RAM seems to be soldered to the board. The DIMM socket is empty. I put a 4GB card in the socket and it expanded the memory to 12GB but didn't fix the problem.

method 2

I can not do any of these things. I can not get into the BIOS. I can not get into safemode. The is no POST screen on the HDMI output. Anytime I do anything that will affect the settings with a restart I end up back at the windows login screen and I had to do a hard reset (hold down Power button) to get there. Whatever setting was suppose to change with the Restart does not happen. Anything I try to do from Settings > Update and Security > Recovery does not take place as the laptop does not Restart in the proper way.

Guess I will try ASUS but it looks pretty bleak.

Based on your description, if your problem occurs in both Win10 and Win11 systems, I have to suspect that the motherboard of your laptop may be faulty.
I would suggest you bring back your laptop to our service center. The following is the contact information:

Thanks but my laptop is way to sick to do any of the things you ask. I can not get into BIOS anyway I try. What you suggest above does not work. The is no POST screen and no way to break into BIOS.
I did manage to successfully flash the BIOS up one Rev with a windows BIOS flash program. But that didn't help.

Yes after exhausting all options I now am fairly certain the laptop is very ill.
The ASUS web site says my warranty is " Valid until 2022-11-12". I have taken the bottom case off to have a look inside so I'll have to see if that voids my warranty. Thanks for the reply.
