Asus Laptop: Asus X550V laptop won't turn on - complete zero response

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 07:44:56 -0700

My Asus X550V laptop won't turn on and has complete zero response (no lights, no fan spin). I tried unplugging everything and holding the power button to drain residual power, but it didn't help. I don't have a multimeter or a spare charger to test the power adapter. Any advice on what to check next?

Asus Laptop: Asus Vivobook S15 won't turn on.

I think my Asus Vivobook overheated. The fan made a loud noise then the computer shut down. I'm not able to bring it up. Should I buy a new battery? I have an appt. at Best Buy's service center. Should I buy a battery to take to them?

ASUS TUF Dash F15: Won't turn on. Is my system saveable?

Sat, 25 Jul 2026 18:30:44 -0700

Hi, so first the system would just flat crash while I was gaming, no blue screen or warning just going down. After yesterday it stopped turning on at all. I think it's possible it was over heating but I'm wondering what my next steps could be.

Asus VivoBook x507ua-ej366t: Photos disappeared from both my Android phone and ASUS VivoBook X507 a

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 02:45:47 -0700

Hi everyone,

I was transferring photos from my Android phone to my ASUS VivoBook A507M (I selected the X507UA because it's the closest model).

The transfer was taking a very long time and my laptop became extremely slow, so I unplugged the USB cable without safely ejecting the phone. The transfer failed.

After that, I noticed that some photos were missing from my phone. Even more surprisingly, many photos stored on my laptop also disappeared. Only the photos in one folder on my D: drive were deleted. My documents and other files, especially on the C: drive, are still intact.

I checked the Recycle Bin, but the missing photos are not there. I also searched for the files, but they seem to have completely disappeared.

This happened quite a while ago, but I'm still hoping there is a way to recover the photos.

My questions are:

Why would unplugging the USB cable cause photos on both my phone and laptop to disappear?

Is it possible that the files were accidentally moved instead of deleted?

Is there any way to recover the missing photos, even though this happened some time ago?

How can I restore the missing photos to their original locations? Is there any recovery method I can still try?

ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX507: speakers are really quiet

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:51:16 -0700

The issue for me with this was there was a solid sticker over the grille for the left speaker instead of a mesh. I took the sticker off and just shoved some random mesh i had over it and that fixed it for me.

ASUS ROG Strix G15 G513: G513QR cleaning & thermal paste replacement process — need guidance

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 19:09:00 -0700

Hi everyone,

My ASUS ROG Strix G513QR (Ryzen 9 5900HX, RTX 3070) has been overheating lately — I'm seeing CPU temps around 93°C even at low load (~11% CPU usage), while the GPU stays cool at the same time. Fans are already ramping up hard (3900 RPM CPU fan, 4200 RPM GPU fan) even without heavy usage.

I suspect dust buildup in the fans/heatsink and degraded liquid metal on the CPU die (this model ships with liquid metal from the factory). I'd like to open it up myself to clean the fans/heatsink and replace the liquid metal with a regular thermal paste (I have Arctic MX-4 on hand).

I'm not very experienced with laptop teardown, so I'd appreciate:

Confirmation of the exact screw/clip layout for removing the bottom panel on this specific model
The correct order for removing/reinstalling the heatsink screws
Any specific precautions for handling residual liquid metal safely (cleaning the die + IHS)
Whether replacing liquid metal with MX-4 is a reasonable choice for this CPU/GPU combo, or if I should stick with liquid metal

Any tips, warnings, or links to a reliable step-by-step guide for this exact model would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Asus Laptop FX505D: How to Update Wi-Fi drivers

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 05:58:42 -0700

Hi. So my Wi-Fi icon would occasionally disappear. Then the internet itself would start to disappear, and restarting the laptop would help at first. Now that doesn't help either, but the wired internet still works. I found out on this forum that I need to update my Wi-Fi drivers. I tried. Automatic/self-update didn't help. Please help me update manually. Repair is expensive for me.....
