TLDR; BAD Laptop Asus has not fixed in 7 months.
Will not power up properly only keyboard lights come on and nothing else.
My primary reason for posting this here is that I cannot find anything else about this on this specific model and I am wondering if anyone
else has the same problem with the same laptop.
Maybe this will be helpful.

I'm in the middle of a nightmare with ASUS.
I am a very experienced computer technician.
On my recommendation I had a client of mine purchase a brand new x571gt Laptop computer and the end of Jan. 2019.
When It arrived I did a couple of quick checks on it to make sure it powered up and passed a few basic tests and put it away.
One month later my client was ready for it and I began the process of setting it all up for them.
I drove it over to them in my car and when I got there it would not power up properly.
Only the keyboard would light up. no display backlight no actual bootup and no capslock light activity.
Dead except for the keyboard backlight.
From that tried about everything and could only determine it was a defective unit.
Sometimes it will power up properly but very rarely and only if in a very warm room/environment.
Trying to power it up in a "cold" room (50 degrees F) made the problem show up the first time.
Spent a large time on the phone with ASUS explaining the problem also send them PAGES of what I had tested to determine that the unit is bad.
Got an RMA and sent it out to ASUS.
Waited almost two months for ASUS, they sent me multiple updates stating that the laptop needed replacement parts due to covid they cannot get the parts
for an extended period of time and to be patient.
After a long further wait I get an email update explaining again that replacement parts are still not available and that I could wait longer and they would extend my warranty 6 months or I could get my money back.
I opted to extend the warranty and repair or replace my customers laptop because we need the laptop and is why we bought it in the first place.
The very next day I get an email saying the laptop was shipped back to me with no explanation or anything on what was done.
I immediately sent an email response asking what was going on and what repair or what was done?
*No Response whatsoever*
5 days later the laptop shows up. and very poorly shipped and not very protected loose in a single box with thin padding and moving around in the single thin brown box. Nothing at all like what we had shipped it out in and protected it with.
Pulled it out of the box and hit the power button. Keyboard lights up and nothing else, no screen backlight no bootup. Dead! Same problem.
Small printout inside the box says: "Error in device manager Unit does not power on" "cleaning and reassembly of device solved the problem"
No!
I typed and printed out a two page document of the problem and what was tested!! and there was NEVER EVER any "error in device manager"
experienced or reported EVER.
So here I am pretty upset about the whole waste of time and money.
