Classic symptoms of an inverter board failing. The inverter board is a circuit board in the display, usually near the hinges on the display. This board converts the power to run the light(s) that light up the display. Usually cost less than $20, and are fairly easy to replace.

ASUS COMP X551MA CAPS ON-OFF INDICATER

The Caps Lock indicator is on the lower left edge on this model.
They are very tiny and extremely hard to see in bright light. Try it in the dark or under a blanket by pressing the caps key on and off slowly and observing the small led. If it is not responding you may have a faulty keyboard. When you press the Caps key does it actually produce Capital Letters in Notepad for instance? If Caps is actually doing the correct thing then probably a faulty led. To check for a faulty keyboard either attach an external usb keyboard or invoke the on-screen keyboard from the 'Ease of Access' folder under Accessories.

A blacked-out screen doesn't necessarily indicate a broken monitor.
If the computer has run out of charge or is in hibernation or sleep mode,
if the screen is too dark, or if the display cable has come disconnected from the motherboard, the screen may appear black or fail to turn on. To fix a blacked-out laptop screen, troubleshoot the screen settings, check the LCD connector and see if the computer is awake and receiving power.
Touch the touchpad or move the external mouse to see if the computer is asleep or hibernating. If the computer fails to respond, press "Enter" on the keyboard. Press the power button if the screen remains black.

Confirm that the power indicator light, found at the front of the computer or above the keyboard, is glowing solid green or blue. Confirm that the power adapter is plugged into the computer and into a wall outlet. Confirm that battery indicator light is glowing solid green or blue. Hold down the "Fn" key. Press the up-arrow to see if the screen brightness increases.
Some computers also use the "F6" or "F7" keys to increase screen brightness.
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off the laptop.
Remove the AC adapter from the computer, close the screen, and then turn the PC over.
Slide the battery latch to eject the battery. Pull the battery out of its compartment. Turn the computer back over, open the lid, and insert the edge of a flathead screwdriver or other flat, solid object beneath the bezel above the keyboard. Wedge the edge of the keyboard bezel off of the top cover.
Work your way along the edge of the keyboard bezel to loosen it.
Pull the bezel off the laptop.
Trace the cable coming from the laptop screen to the connector found beneath the bezel. Reconnect the display cable to the motherboard if the cable has come loose from the connector. Line up the tabs on the bezel with the slots along the top of the keyboard. Insert the right edge of the bezel into the gap above the keyboard, and then push the bezel back in place. Turn the computer back on. If the laptop screen is still blacked out, connect an external monitor to the video port on the side of the PC to confirm that the video card isn't defective. If the external monitor works, the LCD screen could be broken. If the monitor doesn't work, the motherboard or video card might need to be replaced. Hope this helps

How do you show a slideshow that has been downloaded into a computer (connected to the projector)?

If this is the first time you've ever tried to project something from the laptop you probably just need to activate the laptop's data port. Look for an "f" key across the top of the keyboard that says CRT/LCD, or has an icon showing 2 screens. While holding down the function "Fn" key in the lower left corner of the keyboard, press the correct "f" key. You may have to do this a couple of times because it goes in a cycle where the image is on your laptop,only, next time on the screen, only, then on both the laptop and screen.

Keyboard keys L/G/R acting weird

It sounds like the Windows is registering the "Windows Key" as being in the "Pressed" position. This is the key between control and alt on the left side of the keyboard. Press it a few times and see if that helps. If it does not it sounds like that key or the keyboard may need replacement.

Screen goes blank

I put a new CR2025 battery in my T5e671 Timex and it solved the problem.
The screen no longer goes blank at any time.
PS:Timex manual says "remove battery strap" to replace the battery.
But it doesn't say HOW.-& I couldn't google an answer to that.
Here is how:
The metal strap goes across the middle of the battery and then goes over the edge of it on both sides.
At both edges the metal strap goes over a nylon tab.
One of those nylon tabs is notched, if you put the end of a paperclip in the notch, you can release the metal strap edge that runs under it.
