Asus Laptop F553M: battery not charging (green and orange led light flashing)

Sat, 24 Feb 2024 23:47:32 -0700

My Asus F551m has a battery problem, can't recharge anymore, flashes green and orange led when on charger at off state. when on, it shows battery charging but symbol but always at 0% charge, so I concluded that the battery is dead and I decided to buy a compatible battery for replacement. the closer I could get in term of voltage rating is 14.4 v/ 2200mAh/32Wh but the battery to be replaced is rated 11.25v/2850mAh/33Wh.

can I use the 14.4v battery to replace the 11.25v? or is there a way apart of solving this problem of battery not charging (green and orange led light flashing) from replacing the battery?

The laptop is not turning on. I performed hard reset and did not work. I disconnected the battery and powered the motherboard directly. The board switches on for a second and turns off immediately. What is the possibility of repair the laptop?

Asus F551MAV: How to upgrade ram?

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 16:48:52 -0700

I have conflicting info on this F551MAV-DB02-B on how much ram it can use/maximum. Crucial says 12G, and that it only has one slot and that the ram IS removable.

First, is it removable/replaceable? Second, just how high can I go with ram, I'm guessing just an 8G stick, which would improve this system a lot. Third, just how/where/what do I have to remove to get to the ram to replace it?

FYI, Crucial has this to say about ram:

CT8G4SFS824A
Configuration ID: CT9393524

DDR4-2400 • CL=17 • NON-ECC • SODIMM • 260-pin • 1.2V • 1Rx8 • PC4-19200

Thanks for any help/insight you can provide.

Asus F Series: Asus FA617NS Laptop. Cracked plastic hinge on screen.

Fri, 31 May 2024 14:56:20 -0700

I have an Asus FA617NS Laptop. ANd to my shock and frustration, I went to open the screen today to discover that the plastic covering and the hinge mechanism has started to crack. The faceplate that covers the screen. What should I do to fix this? I still need it for some online schooling and I haven't had the laptop for that long. Should I try to replace/fix it myself? Or have Asus RMA it? Should I try using glue to keep the hinge together? This is really frustrating because I really like using this laptop. See image of cracked hinge.

ASUS F550: Asus F555UA XX129T Keyboard Issues Windows 10 Pro

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 11:40:09 -0700

Hi Guys, this has probably been asked before, but I have an issue with my laptop keyboard keys. My Model is the Asus F555UA I5 laptop.

When ever I enter the key D it either enters to the next line or gives a space and then enters the d. Also when I want to backspace it skips the last key entered and deletes the rest when I keep backspace in. When I tap backspace it skips a letter every time and deletes the letter infront of the last one.

My last issue is, when I press enter on the normal keyboard it highlights the complete row and then enters. I have to use the Numpad enter to enter to the next row normally.

I would really appreciate it if someone can assist me or maybe give me some advice.

I am running windows 10 pro 64bit.

Asus VivoBook F556: New Ifixit battery not charging past 0%

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 01:09:17 -0700

(alternate laptop model name is Vivobook X556) The battery that needed replacing was not charging to 100% and would drop to low percentage under some power demands. Online research led me to believe some of the cells had gone bad (no swelling, thank goodness), after checking my charger and device drivers. Ifixit's replacement battery has been plugged in for 5 hours, but has not charged above 0%. I saw no abnormalities under the hood during replacement, and I reopened it to check my work. Other likely diagnoses are appreciated, thanks.
