Asus K53E-MT1: How do I fix the ac plug in?

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 04:01:17 -0700

The power adapter won't stay connected when I try to recharge the battery or run it on a/c power. I have to forcefully hold it in place. I've checked the cord and it is okay.

Asus K53E-MT1: Can I resolder the contacts on my ac adaptor input jack?

Sat, 12 Jul 2025 01:08:52 -0700

I have a faulty input jack for my ac adaptor.(It is the jack on the laptop). It is loose, and I suspect it may have broken solder joints. I would like to test that theory, before replacing the jack itself. Does this sound feasible? I plan on using the dis-assembly guide, available on your website.

Asus K53SV: Black screen, led on, auto turn on when plugged in

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 02:05:06 -0700

Hi, I have a problem with my Asus K53SV laptop. It's been broken for two years and today it's time to fix it. The laptop turns on however the screen remains black does not turn on. The LEDs light up but do not respond to commands such as activating or deactivating the capslock or number lock. The laptop starts as soon as I connect it to the power supply. In the past I had a problem with charging and I sent it to repair but after two days it broke again. I replaced myself and now it works. I tried in various ways to repair the laptop. I tried to hold down 30 seconds and then turn it on again. I tried removing and putting back the ram. I also tried to connect it to another screen but it does not work. I really need help. If I can not fix it I'd at least know if the screen works to make an external screen. Thanks for the patience

I did this, probably the motherboard is dead Thank you for the help

Asus K50IJ: Windows 10 won't power or boot after Spyware on Microsoft Edge & Updat

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 06:14:53 -0700

Hello, let me first say I am 34 years old and very computer savvy using Windows for 30 years now and used to do network.

I'm not that much a geek these days tho and I'm not familiar with Windows 10.

I have a brand newly refirb leptop, Asus k5oij with Windows 10. Clean install.

First time online at home network with all firewalls and protections off. I live 20 miles from the next person and use my phone hotspot and that's how I like it when im home, simple and clean. Please refrain from opinions on this, I have logical reasons I cannot share.

So I go to the library and connect, and forget about my lack of security. Someone starts streaming to device, and also gets all of my info via an updated and unprotected Microsoft Edge. I got spyware.

I power down and go home. I power up and restart in order to attempt to revert system to previous state as in other versions of Windows.

Windows 10 updates install upon boot and I restart again. I hit f2, f8 & f12 trying to go into setup, not remembering which it is, and doing this experiment anytime I forgot my whole life. Also not accepting opinions on this, it's just what happened.

Then my hard drive suddenly shuts off in one click, about 10 seconds after the little window pane in Windows 10 bootup, and now the laptop will not even power up. It won't even register the power cable plugged in to charge battery.

The battery was nearly dead.

This could have been so many issues, but I can narrow down some options for certain logic to start. The power cable has been tested.

The spyware and hack was real and came up via windows, was not a fake.

I did hit those keys while it was booting and that seems to have caused the shutdown, but it feels like it was a compound issue.

Nevertheless, how do I fix this? I have no idea how to flash a bios. If I work this lappy hard drive into an external case, how can i get it to boot and fix this?

Only high tech confident relevant answers please and thank you from a terninally Ill cancer patient just trying to make a website to sell jewelry and survive.

I need my laptop to work. Thanks.

-Jessie
