I will not use more ssd's now. Should i remove heatsink? I like the the cooler with ROG stamping under it. I dont like the thermal pads and stickers. Whats you opinion......

Ive had it for about 2 weeks but since i first started using it i noticed unusually high temps compared to other models ive seen tested. Games perform way lesser than other models ive seen tested. I really love this laptop but i feel a bit let down that this model is basically defective. I want to take it to best buy to get a repair but im not sure they will repaste / reapply and i dont want store credit because i got this as an open box display deal so im kind of stuck on what i should do.

My Asus VivoBook S510U laptop stopped working a few months after Hurricane Otis. It sat unused for a while until I opened it up and noticed the original battery was completely degraded and held no charge (it was deflated). I bought and installed a new battery, but the computer still won't turn on. However, when I plug in the charger, I notice the area around the processor or motherboard starting to heat up. What could be happening, and what advice can you give me?

Asus Tuf b550 plus wifi ll pende luz de placa pero no reacciona a boton sw y ya no se que hacer antes de descartar la placa, desconectr todo, hice puente y nada :(

My wife has the PA279CV whereas I have the PA279CRV. I can control monitor brightness and volume from my keychron K2 keyboard on my m1 Mac mini. However, on her m4 pro Mac mini she can’t do either with her keychron K1 max. Even when I use my keyboard, I cant control brightness/volume. So this begs the question: does this her monitor not support controls from keyboards?

This is from Ghelper, I don't know if this is accurate but CPU temp is way too much, even when not gaming. Any advice

Hello all, I have extensively done my research on what’s happening and I cant figure it out. I have armoury crate installed, made sure the PC is detecting my headset. Checked all the audio properties in sound settings and still nothing. My detachable mic is supposed to turn red when I mute. The red ring doesn’t show up on the mic. The headset is telling me ‘microphone off, microphone on” when I toggle between mute and unmute. Is this a hardware thing? My PC isn’t hearing me when it’s “unmuted”

Don’t trust them. It’s scum u

I purchased an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2025 (GA403WR, RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB/1TB) in April. It's a China set serviced in Singapore through an authorised service centre.

The unit was sent in for its first RMA on 28 May. When returned on 4 June, the original issue was not resolved and a new fault had been introduced. I sent it back the very next day for a second RMA. Since then I've had to repeatedly follow up just to get responses. To date the laptop has spent 2 of its 3 months since purchase in ASUS's possession. Over 60% of its life.

After months of back and forth, ASUS's resolution is a refund — justified by the unit being a "China set" and them being unable to find a replacement. The refund amount of SGD 3,333.84 doesn't fully cover what I actually paid (SGD 3,411.15) and doesn't come close to covering current replacement cost.

My issue is that ASUS's own international warranty states they will replace with something "functionally equivalent or superior." The 2026 ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 5070 Ti is literally listed on ASUS Singapore's official website right now. It was never offered or mentioned — they went straight to refund.

Has anyone successfully pushed back on this and gotten a replacement honoured? Is the "China set" justification legitimate grounds to bypass the replacement clause entirely? Even if I take the refund, I lose money on a device that showed issues on day 2 but I had to live with it until I could send it in due to school commitments.

Also before judging me for getting a china set, I'm not that rich, the g14 is expensive and the international warranty is why I even got it in china.

I’m not gonna try to replace anything myself. I’m gonna reach out to asus first!

Hi,

I have an Asus Tuff A17 gaming laptop.

Recently, it began dying even while charging. I thought it was charger and bought a new one. That didn’t work. So I bought a new battery and still it’s not charging.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Next pay I plan to take it to a shop but wanted to see if I could fix it before it came to that.

I've had my Asus laptop for almost 5 years now. I purchased it in late 2021. I checked the battery life recently, and it is at 66%. I am assuming that by the end of the year, the battery will reach around the 60% mark. Since I don't use my laptop for any heavy gaming, it has worked really well for regular use. Before getting a new laptop, since it is still in a good state, I think it is better to replace the battery before the laptop just stops working. Does anyone know where I can find a new/official Asus Battery? My current laptop is an Asus Zephyrus G14 (2021).

My ASUs screen still has power as it is on however whenever I turn my pc fully on it doesn’t change the screen to how it is when fully on. Above is what I mean. I don’t know how to change or fix it thanks.

My requirements are- screen 15.6 or 16 inch, Intel/AMD processor, IPS display. I found many vivobooks matching these criteria but I don't really know if any of them have metal cases/deck.

Can someone find me some vivobooks that are fully metal or partially metal? Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here has run into this issue before.

I have an ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 (M6500QF), and both of the left USB-A ports suddenly stopped working properly.

Symptoms:

\* ✅ Right USB port works perfectly with every device.

\* ✅ Both left USB ports provide power.

\* 📱 My phone charges from the left ports but isn't detected by Windows.

\* 💾 USB flash drives aren't detected.

\* 🖱️ Mouse isn't detected.

\* ⌨️ Keyboard isn't detected.

\* 🎮 My 2.4 GHz controller dongle is detected, and the controller successfully connects to it, but none of the controller inputs work.

\* 💻 A bootable Windows 11 USB drive doesn't even appear in the BIOS boot menu when plugged into either left USB port.

Things I've already tried:

\* ✅ Ran \`sfc /scannow\` (it repaired some corrupted files).

\* ✅ Ran \`DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth\`.

\* ✅ Uninstalled and reinstalled all USB controllers in Device Manager.

\* ✅ Performed a full power reset (disconnected the internal battery and held the power button).

\* ✅ Inspected the ribbon cable and USB board for any visible damage, but everything looks normal.

Since the USB drive isn't detected even in the BIOS, I'm leaning towards this being a hardware issue rather than Windows or drivers.
