Asus ROG g75vw has trouble turning on :(

Could you please go into more details as I do not completely understand. Thanks!

The problem that hard starting could be quite a few parts?
Or why you want an estimate since you can get a working one for just under 500?

Why I think getting a working one is an option is that you could slide your HDD over and start where you left off and have spare parts for another failure.

Here a repair runs about 150 plus parts. A motherboard can be 300 so getting a working laptop is cheaper.

This laptop works fine! The only problem is that it has trouble turning on and a few other minor problems but it is fully functional. I don't really need a "working" laptop, I just would like to get this one fixed as it is very expensive.

They'll try a few things and replace what fixes it. My first thought is a failing motherboard or a dying CMOS battery.

There are folk that won't replace the battery without a test so we do that for half price and then wait for them to give the OK. That's 85 bucks! Makes you wonder why they don't try the cheap parts first. Actually I don't wonder. There are some clients that demand you test, call and then repair.

Why do you think that it could be the cmos battery? Sorry I am not trying to be rude, I was just wondering.

If under 3 volts replace. It's cheap.

There are folk that will question every diagnosis. This is why for those folk only a shop counter or bench will do.

It's a common issue and for under 5 bucks you can see if it helps. Again, there are clients and we do love them that insist we measure the battery, tell them the findings and then change. We love them because it's easy work with fantastic margins.

No where an I saying this is it. Just it's one of the things it can be and you could, for little money take the gamble.

If not, a shop will do this for you but it is pricey. Here the shop down the street is 150 min shop counter fee and 5 bucks for the battery!

Oh yes, I am definitely not one of those people who want to try everything. If possible, I would like the cheapest solution because I do not have much money to manage with. And I will try and test the CMOS battery, thanks for the input!

It is not for sure but for the 5 bucks (we buy in bulk and it's much less for the common CR2032s) it's something I would never pass up.

I have had a few folk that come back all mad that it wasn't it. I never said it was. I wrote it could be.

Check your model for the battery type.
https://www.amazon.com/Energizer-2032-Battery-CR2032-Lithium/dp/B0042A9UXC is under 1 buck each.

I could not find the type of battery online but I will definitely take a look at it once I am with my laptop. Please stay tuned and thanks for your help!

I have had some experience with computers so I will attempt to take the laptop apart myself. I just hope I dont break anything. Fingers crossed! I'm not exactly sure what type of cmos I need to get or if I even need to get it, but I will see once I open it up. Thanks for your help!

And it's the model that I just order up from Asus parts. We don't usually wait to get inside on that model since the laptop would sit in the shop for weeks with the owner getting more impatient by the day.

i have now found out that it is indeed the cmos battery that is the issue. the only problem is that the g75vw so old that i cannot find a replacement for it. does anyone have any ideas?

Can clip the wires and make a new one. The video I saw looked just like other 2 pin CMOS batteries so the tech would look at the voltage and then clip the old and new leads to make a new battery pack.

This is trivial work. But I find many shops will not do such today.
