Didn't plug it in to the mains this morning, so I pressed the ON button. NOTHING comes on the screen.
Went away for 5 minutes
Came back and plugged in the power - up comes the desktop straight away loaded. Battery almost 100%.
Never seen it before. It is though the screen lights up ONLY when power plugged in - Not even the computer logo comes up on battery power when first switched on ?
It's clear that there is a problem when it's on the battery. Does the machine work and show normal drainage when you disconnect the battery? Or does it shut down quickly?
in command prompt (you may need to be in command prompt admin mode for this) type powercfg /batteryreport and press enter. It should make a file. Then go to the location shown and open it. Please copy/paste it here.
HOWEVER, as mentioned - when starting in battery power, when ON button pressed - not even the ASUS LOGO appears on the screen, even though windows is loading in the background
You are looking at either the lcd or the board not supplying the power to the LCD... or a simple case of the settings set to low. Can you go into the BIOS and look for anything that says LCD brightness on battery?
If that is a fail, then search for and open the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. If you have that try Power-->On Battery-->Disable Power Saving Technology. Move the slider to Maximum Quality
Could be a fault on the motherboard not allowing the battery to power the screen's backlight, since you do get a display with charger connected I think the screen itself is ok.
Nice piece of troubleshooting swapping screens. :up:
I would put the original screen back to make sure it wasn't just a poor connection.
If it's still not lighting up with battery power you may be able to find a cheap used screen on Ebay.
