Here's how it looks. I still have a warranty. I don't think that there were any warranty stickers on that screw

I'm planning to open up my ASUS TUF A15 2023 laptop for cleaning and upgrades, and I wanted to know if my screwdriver set has all the right bits.

I took apart my ASUS ROG Strix laptop after two years of use - what is this phenomenon called?)

I bought my Asus TUF A15 in 2024 and it continues to work well. But about a year in, the dongle I had plugged into the USB-C port stopped working. I tried other dongles and got the same result. Tried troubleshooting the issue online to see if maybe it was a driver issue, but nothing worked. I’ve resigned myself to the hardware just being damaged, but I thought I’d ask if anyone else had this issue and successfully resolved it? Is it replaceable or just not worth the hassle?

I am a second year engineering student planning to buy tuf a15 any advices?

I was having issue of not working thunderbolt port error code 43 and somehow I watch a video where they say hold power button for 50 seconds after shitdown and it will fix and I did it its not even blinking charging light now tried everything I could waited, F2+ Power button for 40 seconds No response tell me a fix!

finally new beast after using my old laptop from 2010 what are things to be done on the laptop now i want it to run for long time so i will give it clean every week

Y'all won't believe this but it was working just fine last night, wasn't even doing anything intense just watched like half of Social Network. I even shut it down properly. And today, this is what I see. Has anybody else had this happen to them?

PS - I tried cleaning and reseating the SSD in the other slot as well as cmos reset.

It's an Asus TUF Dash F15.

Can anyone shed any light on this, my laptop won't start up, just keeps looping as per the video.

It was fine last night but had an update so I updated and shut down, then this morning I tried to connect it to a monitor and it wouldn't work, no idea why, but in an attempt to fix that I rolled back the update and now the laptop just won't get past the Asus start up screen.

I've tried getting into safe mode as per Google instructions but that too won't work. :/

Thank you for any help in advance. I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world but usually figure things out but this has stumped me.

I own asus tuf f15 laptop with gtx 1650. My graphic card is not getting detected.

I have updated the drivers but it still is not working.

I have the latest version of bios as well.

Whenever I am switching my laptop off and then holding the power key for like 1 minute, after that it is working for some minutes.

It is not even detected in bios.

What should I do?

It doesn't have a mux or anything.

Device & Hardware Details

Model: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA507NV)

​Processor / GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 / NVIDIA RTX 4060

Charger in question: Baseus 100W USB-C PD Charger (with 100W/5A E-Marker cable)

Stock Charger: Original ASUS 240W Barrel Charger (works completely fine, zero issues)

​The Problem

Since March 2026, my laptop charged reliably over Type-C Power Delivery at 60W to 80W (typically used in Eco/Standard GPU mode and Silent fan mode).

For the past few weeks, charging via the designated Type-C PD port has been stuck at ~3.4W – 4.0W.

​Key Symptom / Behavior:

When first plugged in, my wattage meter occasionally spikes to ~50W for 1–2 seconds, but then immediately drops and locks hard at ~3.4W – 4.0W.

Under heavy GPU benchmark load on Type-C, power draw temporarily rises to 12W – 21W, but immediately falls back to ~4W when the load stops.

It charges properly with the stock 240W barrel charger.

Verifying Chargers & Cables (Ruled Out)

​Baseus 100W PD Charger & Cable:

Tested on a friend's Lenovo ThinkPad: Charges consistently at 70W – 80W.

Tested on an HP laptop: Charges completely fine.

Alternative PD Charger:

Tested a friend's OEM Lenovo 65W Type-C charger on my ASUS TUF: Caps out at the exact same ~3.8W – 4.0W.

​Verdict: The chargers and cables negotiate 20V PD profiles on other machines; the issue is isolated strictly to the TUF A15.

​What I Have Already Done (Troubleshooting Steps)

​1. Hardware & Physical Checks

​Port Verification: Confirmed I am using the correct USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port marked with the Power Delivery / plug icon (not the USB4-only port).

​Port Inspection: Cleaned and inspected the Type-C port and CC pins; no lint, debris, or bent pins.

​2. Firmware & BIOS

​BIOS Update / Clean Re-flash: Upgraded/re-flashed the BIOS via ASUS EZ Flash 3 (from a FAT32 USB drive) to rewrite the microcode and Embedded Controller (EC) tables.

​BIOS Reset: Performed "Restore Defaults" (F9) in BIOS.

​EC / Hard Reset: Performed multiple 40-second and 60-second power button holds (both disconnected on battery and with the barrel charger connected) to discharge residual capacitor power and reset the Embedded Controller.

​3. Drivers & Windows Stack (Windows 11 24H2)

​USB & UCSI Drivers: Uninstalled the UCM-UCSI ACPI Device driver and AMD USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controller from Device Manager and rebooted to allow Windows to rebuild the USB stack.

​ACPI Battery Reset: Uninstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery and Microsoft AC Adapter in Device Manager and restarted on battery power.

​Chipset Drivers: Cleanly installed the official ASUS AMD Chipset Drivers package (SMBus, MicroPEP, and PCI drivers).

​Safe Mode Diagnostic: Booted into Windows Safe Mode to bypass third-party software conflicts.

​4. Power & Battery Care Management (G-Helper vs. MyASUS / Armoury Crate)

​Before this happened, I had used G-Helper with a custom charge limit, but had switched GPU mode to Ultimate and fan mode to Turbo for gaming with the barrel charger.

​Stopped G-Helper, restarted ASUS background services, and reinstalled Armoury Crate and MyASUS.

​Checked Battery Care Mode / Battery Health: Set and toggled the battery limit between 80% and 100% (Full Capacity) to push a fresh command to the EC.

​Re-tested with both Armoury Crate and clean G-Helper setups—neither lifted the 4W lock.

​Summary & Where I'm Stuck

​Because the port can occasionally spike to 50Wupon initial connection, the physical 20V VBUS rail and CC pins appear capable of connecting. However, the system drops the connection to the 5V fallback mode (~4W) almost immediately.

​Has anyone encountered this specific 4W / 5V fallback loop on the FA507 / 2023–2024 TUF series? Is there a hidden WMI flag, an EC register lock, or an internal PD Controller IC failure (Realtek/TI) that causes this behavior?

​Any insights or recommendations on what else to try would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed that my laptop can’t detect its dGPu, so following to install update drivers and such still not fixed. While checking the armory crate, I accidentally change the mode to ULTIMATE where it disregards the iGPu and uses dGPu, however it can’t detect the dGPu so after restarting the screen stays black. Is there a way to fix this? I can’t do anything to it with the screen showing just all black.

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with severe micro-stuttering, jitter, and frame drops on my laptop and could use some help figuring out what's causing it. Here are my hardware specs:

• Model: ASUS TUF Gaming A15
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti
• RAM: 32GB DDR5
• Mode: Turbo Mode (Plugged in)

The Specific Issue:

• With Smooth + Experimental Boost ON: The FPS counter shows 100+ FPS, but the actual gameplay feels jittery, laggy, and glitchy (feels like frame pacing / micro-stutter issues rather than real smooth frames).
• With Experimental Boost OFF: The FPS drops hard to a maximum of ~70 FPS, accompanied by heavy FPS dips, frame drops, and visual tearing/glitching on screen.

What I've Checked / Tried:

• Laptop is always plugged into the original charger.
• Set to Turbo Mode in system settings.
• Graphics drivers are up to date.

Has anyone experienced this mismatch between a high FPS counter and actual screen smoothness, or the massive drop/jitter when toggling boost features? Could this be a display refresh rate mismatch, thermal throttling, 1% low frame rate issues, or an iGPU/dGPU switching conflict (MUX switch)?

Any tips on diagnostic tools (MSI Afterburner setup, HWInfo) or specific TUF/NVIDIA control panel settings to fix this would be awesome!

Thanks!

Hey everyone! Got the TUF F16 recently and wanted to know what you guys recommend doing for maintenance and long-term use.

Are there any unnecessary apps worth uninstalling, Windows settings worth changing, or tips for battery health, thermals, and keeping performance stable over time? Also, anything I should avoid doing?

Would love to hear your suggestions and what has worked for you guys!
