  In a previous paper by Ferreira and L\'opez [Journal of Mathematical Analysis
and Applications, 298(1), 2004], the authors derived an asymptotic expansion of
the Lerch's transcendent $\Phi(z,s,a)$ for large $\vert a\vert$, valid for
$\mathrm{Re}(a)>0$, $\mathrm{Re}(s)>0$ and $z\in\mathbb{C}\setminus[1,\infty)$.
In this paper we study the special case $z\ge 1$ not covered in the previous
result, deriving a complete asymptotic expansion of the Lerch's transcendent
$\Phi(z,s,a)$ for $z > 1$ and $\mathrm{Re}(s)>0$ as $\mathrm{Re}(a)$ goes to
infinity. We also show that when $a$ is a positive integer, this expansion is
convergent for $\mathrm{Re}(z) \ge 1$. As a corollary, we get a full asymptotic
expansion for the sum $\sum_{n=1}^{m} z^{n}/n^{s}$ for fixed $z >1 $ as $m \to
\infty$. Some numerical results show the accuracy of the approximation.
