Asus EeeBook X205TA: No Display on ASUS Boot Logo and Windows Before Installing Graphics

Sat, 19 Oct 2024 18:17:45 -0700

my ASUS x205ta will not show a image until booted into windows (lock screen). When reinstalling windows i hd to plug it into a external monitor to enter the bios and install windows. Still nothing showed on the screen until i installed the Graphics driver. However on boot its a black screen until the logon screen thats weird because for 8 years it always showed the ASUS Logo and the bios on the internal display however it now only shows on a external monitor.

Asus EeeBook X205TA: How do I reset my BIOS password on newer ASUS laptops?

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 11:58:48 -0700

I was playing around with the BIOS settings and somehow I fat fingered the password not once, but twice.. and now I'm locked out of the computer entirely. I was trying to figure out what the difference was between the "User" password, and the "Administrator" password - and the difference is that "User" won't allow the system to boot at all without that password.

I've tried pulling the main power from the tiny little motherboard, and this appears to make no difference with these newer laptops which don't have specific bios batteries to remove. Any suggestions?

Has anyone solved this problem? My client complains that the mail agent informs him of incoming mail, he opens Outlook, sees 7 emails in the Inbox on the counter, but only displays 3. He doesn't know how to see the other 4.

I want to reboot my computer, it's slow and the storage is full, even though I don't have much stuff on there. How do I reboot it? I've done it once before, but it was long ago, so I can't remember. The computer is a bit over a year old.

Asus EeeBook X205TA: keyboard or mouse not working after a pc reset

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 04:48:30 -0700

Hi, my notebook ASUS X205TA freezes on the welcome screen after I did a PC-windows reset that reinstalled windows. the keyboard doesn't work and the mouse doesn't move. I'm always stuck at the blue welcome screen that shows "Hi there, let's get a few basic things out of the way"

external mouse or keyboard also not working.

i've tried to reset the notebook once again but it didn't help. I think it is the keyboard and mouse drivers are the problem but i don't have any idea of how i can deal with that.

anyone got an idea ? please help!.

Asus EeeBook X205TA: Wifi very weak, but antenna correctly attached

Sun, 17 Nov 2019 15:17:19 -0700

Hi guys and gals and non-binary folk!

I got my hands on an Asus x205ta (used, off a local eBay type site) and managed to get it working just fine.

The issue I noted was that the wifi range was appalling. I took it apart, and inspected the cable connecting to the wifi chip - I unseated and then re-seated it carefully, making sure it clicked right.

Once I removed the cable, the connectivity was lost entirely. Once I placed it back, it went up to one bar (for comparison, I have the same type of notebook right next to this one, showing full strength on the home network). The router in this scenario is about 3 feet (one meter) away and unobstructed.

I then took it apart, and removed the screen bezel to be able to follow the antenna cable, but it all seemed to be well seated an connected. There were no visible sign of damage on the cable itself, nor on the antenna connection.

I also tried treating this as a potential software issue and downloaded the drivers from the Asus site for the correct Win version (win10 32bit).

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

Asus EeeBook X205TA: EeeBook wont boot, not even to BIOS

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 20:27:25 -0700

My EeBook turns on (the screen backlight is visible) but everything else remains black. There is no bootscreen and no BIOS. Multiple attempts at restarting or holding the power button down for longer periods of time give no reliable results.

Trying to enter BIOS with F2 (and many other buttons includings Esc, F8, F10, F11, F12) all yield no results.

Sporadically after many attempts the Laptop does sometimes turn on.

Even though this problem occurs both when plugged in and out, my theory is that this is related to a dying battery.

Any solutions or similar experiences?

Asus EeeBook X205TA: Computer continuously restarts when connected to WiFi.

Fri, 26 Apr 2019 15:00:53 -0700

I can only use my computer when I have the wifi turned off. When it's turned on and I'm connected to a network, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then takes me back to the log in screen. It'll stay on for maybe three seconds top, and then go black again and repeat the process. My computer is very new since I only got it about two weeks ago and this problem first showed up this week. At first it'd just take a few attempts at logging in before it'd work but now it doesn't work at all (unless the wifi is off, of course). All I've tried is restarting it and leaving it off for a day. Any suggestions?

Asus EeeBook X205TA: How do I get out of this loop?

Mon, 18 Feb 2019 07:31:30 -0700

I rebooted my computer after it crashed. It said preparing automatic repair, then cut to a black screen. It then changed to diagnosing your PC, and changed a final time. It was a blue screen that said your PC did not start correctly with the option to restart or advanced options, but there’s no cursor. When I tried to reboot it again, the same thing happened. Can anyone help me fix it?

Asus EeeBook X205TA: USB ports charge devices but doesn't recognise them

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 14:50:09 -0700

My laptop has two USB ports and both of them provide power to my devices (eg cellphone, tablet, flash drive, etc). However, when plugged in, these devices don’t appear/work on the computer. So I can’t access my files or use my drawing tablets. This happens quite often to me but I can usually get everything working again by disabling the USB controllers under Device Manager and then enabling them, or by waiting a few hours. Nothing seems to be working this time, though. Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

List of things I’ve tried:

Restarting laptop (every time I did one of the following)
Removing power cord for a few hours
Changing power management settings for USB Root Hub (USB 3.0)
Turning off fast startup
Uninstalling hidden devices
Checking for outdated drivers (DriverEasy didn’t detect any)
Scanning for hardware changes
Removing dust from USB ports

Also, I have this error in my Device Manager. It’s been there for a long time and never affected anything but I thought I’d mention it just in case.

Asus EeeBook X205TA: Wont boot, stays in BIOS

Mon, 07 Jan 2019 07:36:06 -0700

I have an ASUS X205TA. It was working fine then all of a sudden an error came up that I don't remember what it said, then the BIOS screen (Aptio Setup Utility) showed up. Nothing I do will get me out of this screen. One thing I noticed, and I don't think it is good, is that under the BOOT menu, it says BOOT OPTION PRIORITIES, and there is nothing, and I mean nothing under that. Could this mean that the hard drive (32gb eMMC) failed?

Asus EeeBook X205TA: My laptop cannot find the battery or detect it? What should I do?

Sat, 17 Nov 2018 22:12:28 -0700

I thought buying a new battery will work on my laptop, but it still seems like the problem. I water damaged this laptop 1 week ago. The laptop flickeres off when the soda kept spilling. I immediately removed the charger and let the laptop drain out the liquid.

Than about 3 hours later it worked. The laptop could not find the battery and charge. So I bought a new battery from ebay and it still did not work. What should I do!?!

Asus EeeBook X205TA: I spilled soda on my keyboard? How can I get it fixed?

Sat, 17 Nov 2018 19:51:11 -0700

So I spilled soda on the keyboard.

The laptop was on and charging. When the soda kept spilling in my keyboard the laptop flicked off.

When I gave it a while to dry about 3 hours, the laptop was back to normal…except all of the keyboards did not work except for the power button and the battery kept showing a orange led. The laptop cannot identify the battery on the laptop. Maybe is dead?
