Quick update on the matter................... It powers on for 6 sec. and then powers down. Holding CTRL-HOME only makes it power down faster. (no clue as to why....) Tried : FLOPPY (USB), CD-ROM (INTERNAL), USB FLASH DRIVE (4GB FAT32) to no effect......... Only two things left to try are either Internal memory card reader or internal HDD Any new suggestions are welcome.......... Cheers
Sorry, I have no clue. those ASUS Notebooks usually flash with an SSv2 mod without any problems. Yours is the first report of one of those Bricking that I have heard.
