After it's off, try again. Also, keep this older safe reset handy:

My ASUS FX550J is on (the LED by the lightbulb is on and I can slightly hear the laptop) but my screen is black and it won't respond to the power button. I don't know what the implications are of just taking the battery out while it's on! Please help me to get it working again! It is only 6 months old
Thanks
