The problem is either defect ram or vga. Typical on this model. Try replacing the ram first, pretty easy to do.

Based on the symptoms I would suspect a failed lithium battery. Most people think they should keep their lithium batteries at 100% but that actually shortens the life (number or recharges). I always suggest that you should try and let your laptop run down to 50% before recharging. Leaving a laptop constantly plugged in results in the same outcome - constant recharging of small amounts so you can see that the 'life cycle' is related to the number of times you recharge and if you are constantly doing it then you will most likely be shortening the battery's useful life. Unfortunatley most laptops will not run without the battery so the user's only option is to run their laptops on battery and not plugged in to AC until at least 50% dissapation thus optimizing the battery. Just in case you have not done this, try removing and reseating the battery. Jarring of the laptop can somtines alter a good connection but from what you said it is unlikely.

check if the power button of the laptop is stuck.

Andy, Check for bad battery as this is the likely culprit. All laptops require a functioning battery to power up. Years ago manuf. re-designed this because people were using laptops without batteries and would get micro-surges that trashed their mainboard so most if not all laptops require a good battery in place to power up. Let me know if that does not work for you and we'll look at some other areas

Did you hold down the [fn] key, in combination with the function keys? If not, you have to hold down the [fn] key in combination with pressing the function key's that are associated with the keyboard back-lighting (usually [F3] or [F4] on an ASUS G-series).

Yes, you can. You will need to buy an adapter. You should be able to find one at Fry's, Radio Shack, or a similar electronics store. (DVI does not carry audio, unlike HDMI.)
