After banging my head trying the fn+home+ctrl method and every other method I found on the internet, I decided to take the laptop apart. I took the shell off and unplugged the battery. Left it unplugged for a few minutes, plugged it back in, put the casing back together and voila, back in business. I have an ASUS Eee PC 1000HD. I hope this saves someone else countless hours of headaches. I went on youtube and watched a video on installing a touch screen to see how to take it apart. It’s basically 11 screws on the back (not including the ram and HD cover) and 7 screws under the keyboard.
Thanks for the instruction.
I have the bricked eeepc 901. When I sent to warranty service, they said moisture entered and caused the motherboard and keyboard died.
I have try all the tricks above, no effect at all.
But after that I opened and detached all parts, remove the CMOS battery.
Reassemble and restart, it revived like magic 🙂
I tried everything I could find to unbrick my 900a, aside from disassembling it. What worked for me was to press Alt+F2 while on battery power only. It seams to go through th load process a little slower allowing time to hit the keys.
The CMOS battery trick worked for me! Thanks!
Hi there – I have a slightly different scenario. Eee PC 4G is the model of my computer, while updating the BIOS the battery ran down, and since then it is totally dead, will not boot (I didn’t do this I’m fixing it for a FRIEND who did:).
I have disassembled the netbook, disconnected the CMOS battery, that didn’t help.
I have been trying both the Ctrl-Fn-Home and Alt-F2 and Fn-F2, but no luck. Is there any likelihood that this WILL work if I just keep on going, or is my problem too different?
Lastly, this model has TWO home keys! One is a picture of a house on the bottom row, third key from left in between Fn and Alt. The other says home in blue lettering and is on the left-arrow key. Which one should I try? I assume the letters Home as the blue denotes it is accessed with the use of the Fn key . . .
thanks in advance for your help!
