I just bought one and it is not booting up. It gets stuck at loading at 99%. Any ideas? We just got it 4 days ago!

What i did with mine is install cyanogenmod. It allows you to install 3rd party add-ons and gives a lot more freedom than out of the box. Nook operating system is pretty restricted. Follow this guide, it installs from an sd card, and should get you past the frozen boot screen...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613

You might have to perform a hard reset. You can get those directions on the b&n; site that's where I found the directions

Hold the Power button and Home (n) buttons. The device will turn on. Continue to hold both buttons until the device shuts off once again (~15-20 seconds). Turn the device on normally. It will prompt for a factory reset. Press the Home button twice to confirm.

Hi Michael, how did you start up with the 1GB card? I am still on black screen with my old 1GB card? I cannot get in to disable the boot booster, or to do anything!, as all I get is the black screen. Thanks!!!

Send the product into Asus and they will repair it. I sent mine in, and they also found a few dead pixels and a broken card reader, so they repaired everything without asking. When returned it worked perfect!

I have no problems with mine. In fact I have 3 Asus laptops (me and my two kids). This G75VW-DS73-3D is my daughter's and she has had it for 8 months. No problems with hers booting up. I hear others have the boot up problem like you do. None of mine have the problem, however, and they all work just fine. The other 2 I have are from the exact same family, the G75VW-AS71 and the G75VW-DS72.

Not a thing, I love mine! Fastest boot-up I've ever seen and so far works flawlessly.

Mine has been working with no issue since I bought it in Feb. Is it still under warranty? Maybe you can return it? If not it could just be a bad connection and you could see if you can open it and fix it?

I am so sorry Cynthia,i can't help you because i bought rhis for my son and he has been very disappointed also. He said he has to run it all night to keep it working. He has a newborn and wanted to monitor his daughter as needed but the screen keeps going black. Im embarrassed to have bought it even though my son is pretty tech savvy, i think he's embarrassed also. So sorry again. I will forward your problem to him and see what suggestions he has. Talk soon.

when I got mine it worked fine except it couldn't open the internet. I soon sold it to a friend. I would suggest just returning it for a new one or asking for your money back.

Derrick, it could be a damaged hard drive. I've used this device myself, and it works fine on good drives. If the drive is defective for any reason, it won't boot up.

I got mine about when you did. Mine still working fine. Did it drop or fall harder than normal? Email seller see what they can do.

Left mine playing its games until it was "Dead" flat. Rapid charged it via usb until it said it was full and then reset the time and date. Its behaved perfectly since!!! Odd but it seems to have worked! Good luck to all :0)

It was definitely a boot issue? If it randomly wouldn't boot, I would agree with the others, contact HP through the web or phone support. The laptop came with a pamphlet that should has the support # on it.

I had the same problem. Press F12 to get into booting options. Then switch to an unsafe booting mode. Mine works fine now.

Have you found any solution yet? I'm facing the same issue right now and I can't get it to turn at all. Anyone can enlighten? Greatly appreciated.

I ordered mine last week and got it Monday. I couldn't find the date on the package (I believe it was under a sticker) but it was among the defective. I just mailed it back for replacement yesterday, however I may have an interesting bit of information Asus would be interested in... after I get my replacement I may be posting a video on YouTube about it...

I had to send mine back because the power key stopped working. It currently is dead due to possible hard drive failure. I don't have the heart to keep putting money into it, and the proprietary SSD business is crap.
