Thought I was going to have to use the service contract from Best Buy on my Asus, but nope.
The symptom was that while booting up, it would hang when it got to NVRAM check. (Non-volatile). As it turned out this is EASY! Just pull the battery out and press the power switch to take all the residual voltage off the machine. That fixed it! And the google search was quick and easy, too!
I saw various brands and models of laptops that have had this problem - probably all use the same motherboard, so this is applicable to other brands, also.
