Asus Laptop FX505D: No power coming on with power button

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 22:23:52 -0700

Hello,

This Asus FX505DD-DR5N6 ******is barely used. I plugged it in and it seemed to turn on right away, but then I shut it down and I couldn’t get it back on.

I unscrewed the back and unplugged the battery and CMOS battery and pushed the power button for 20 seconds to drain all residual power. Upon plugging it in (before screwing everything back in) I tested it by plugging it into the wall. It came on like a beauty.

I screw everything back in, then try to power on again, and NOTHING. Again I unplug the battery, and upon plugging the battery back in, it comes on automatically. So, it seems to me there’s something preventing the power button from turning on the laptop. BUT, and here’s where I’m super confused… the power button DOES turn the laptop OFF. So, it couldn’t be the power button, right? What’s going on… has anyone had this happen before.

It seems ridiculous to change the power button if it can be used to power off the laptop.

Additional Note: The light on the power button does not turn on unless I unplug the battery and plug it back in. When I do this, the laptop powers on automatically and the light on the power button is on.

Thanks for your assistance.

Asus Laptop FX505D: External monitor works but main is not recognised

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 13:59:48 -0700

Hi, i have an ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT and today i was working as normal and the main display, the one with the laptop stopped showing image. I opened the case and gave it a cleaning and tested the RAM sticks, even discharged all static by pressing the power button 30 seconds while the battery was disconnected but still nothing shows in the main display. The external monitor works perfectly and when i go to device manager it only shows the external one but not the main one.

It's not an update problem because i didn't get an update and the graphic drivers are updated. I can't go into BIOS because for some reason it only works with the main display.

I don't know what happened and i really need the two displays and if any of you can help me i would appreciate infinitely. Sorry for bad English, it's not my first language.

Asus Laptop FX505D: The Screws in the labtop have fallen out

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 21:14:18 -0700

The screws in the bottom part of the laptops have fallen out. What do I do about this? I'm fairly sure that I should just take it too a local electronic fixing store. But I am unsure how much that would cost. Also I went to home advisor and it said that the job would cost about 300 dollar's and that seemed unreasonable, how much would this really cost?

Asus Laptop FX505D: Screen flickering, half blacking out

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 12:40:21 -0700

I am trying to fix an issue with an ASUS FX505D gaming laptop. It is running Windows 11. So far, we have opened it up and dusted, updated drivers, rolled back drivers, installed drivers through Adrenalin, disconnected and reconnected the display cable, and rebooted countless times. One thing that helped was setting the GameVisual preset to Racing through Armoury Crate, though there was intense flickering and a transparent afterimage on the bottom half of the screen. In some cases, a completely white window would improve the picture. In most cases, the issue appeared slightly better at a refresh rate of 48hz as opposed to 120hz. Currently, the bottom half of the screen is black, with an approx. 1-inch bar of the same line of repeating pixels between it and the functioning top half of the screen. Is this an issue with a connector, a driver, or the screen itself?

Asus Laptop FX505D: Laptop dies every time keyboard is touched

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 00:11:19 -0700

My laptop turns off only when I seem to press any key on the keyboard. The mousepad and buttons seem to be safe, along with a Bluetooth keyboard but the one actually built in seems to force it to shut off completely.

I've tried troubleshooting, resetting to factory settings but nothing seems to work and I can't find anything online about this, I'm utterly confused by what's happening.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Asus Laptop FX505D: No power coming on with power button

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 07:15:09 -0700

I bought my laptop 2.5 years ago. A service service serviced my laptop 1 year ago. Since the warranty of my laptop expired after 2 years, I wanted to service my laptop myself. I opened the case of my laptop. After removing the battery, removing the fans, I gently cleaned it with air and a brush. And then when the thermal paste dried. I applied thermal paste for it (I applied a little bit of thermal paste). And I put the laptop's case back. And when I pressed the power button to start it, I realized that it was not working. I tried all the solutions on the internet, but it did not work. On the first day, when I inserted the battery, I heard a crackling sound from the motherboard, but after a few days, this sound stopped. I really need a laptop and please help.

Asus Laptop FX505D: ASUS FX505DU-MB53 Will Not Power On...

Fri, 19 Aug 2022 07:12:36 -0700

I was using my laptop on a zoom meeting, when it said that it had 10% remaining. I plugged it in and went on with the meeting. Shortly later the device went blank and shut off. I checked all of the connections on the charger and it still did not even show any indicating lights. Is there a good way to safely check the charger functionality? Or is is something else. Thank you in advance for your help. :)

Asus Laptop FX505D: How to Update Wi-Fi drivers

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 04:28:40 -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.....

Asus Laptop FX505D: Laptop only turns on without CMOS battery

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 08:46:33 -0700

Hi,

Hoping everyone having a great day. My laptop won't turn on by pressing the power button, it only turns on when I remove the CMOS battery and plugged the charger cable, it turns on without even pressing the power button, is the CMOS battery causing it? As far as I know the CMOS battery only keeps the BIOS settings when the unit is off.

Thank you for answering my question your answers will help a lot.

Note:

I've tried to drain the residual power from my laptop and that doesn't work either

There's a noise like a tractor coming from the right corner near the power button.

A very loud noise is coming from the right corner near the power button; it's definitely not the fan.
