Does this laptop show any signs of the logic board failing?

Mine did. It started going in August of this year and I had to have it repaired in September. It required a 'reflow' of the motherboard, some of the connections to the graphics section seem to crack and it disrupts the display. There is currently a class action lawsuit being filed for owners, which can be found at the link below.http://mbp2011.org/Even though I have had to go through all of this, I am still happy with the performance when it's working correctly. And it gets used every day for up to 12 hours.

It sounds as if the unit may have a defect, or just needs to be rebooted. Please contact the vendor immediately for an RMA if necessary.

Nope. Mine still works and it's about 2 years 3 months old now. I've only replaced the hard drive because I smacked the keyboard when I lost playing a game that caused a disk crash. Other then that, it's still as robust as day ONE! Go Toshiba!

Make sure the MHz matches. If so it should be good to go. Otherwise call a local computer repair shop and ask

On some of the first production units, the pc board was not properly soldered in the case to the battery terminals.You may want to check that first.

Do you have a question? So far, we have not had a problem with ours. You might contact their tech support to see if they can send you a new control board.

I purchased mine around the same time, and had no problems. It's difficult to advise you here though (because of so little info about your problem and no back and forth). I suggest checking Asus' support site. While it's hard to navigate, it does have lots of info, including (I believe) teardown docs for replacing the hard drive and memory.

If you are pushing on the logic board and it stops, is the connector plugged into the board loose? Otherwise I am not sure what it is you are pushing against that may be grounding the board

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

It constantly fails for my laptop as well. Have you tried a fresh re-install?

Yes. My problem was a hardware failure. They told me if they could not fix it, they would give me a choice of check or Amazon gift card to buy a replacement. They were able to replace the part and returned my laptop to me ahead of schedule.

Um sorry but I have no idea I haven't really messed around on the laptop since I bought it wish I could tell you but I can't be sure if it does or not

this tool set will definitely help. The drive spinning up could be a number of problems and it is most likely right there on the motherboard. This will test the post on the board. that will let you know what part is not doing its job so that the operating system can fully boot up and the computer to actually run.

Sounds like it is bad...I have used mine on 2 MSI boards and 3 asus boards and have had readouts on all to where I could fix the problem.

I have not checked since I have no requirement to modify the BIOS. You can probably have more luck going through thinkpad user groups.

Check to make sure your ram and processor are properly seated and make sure polarity isn't wrong on header wires at bottom of board
