ASUS ROG Strix GL503VD-DB71: I turn it on, but in a few second, it turns off immediately

Sun, 03 May 2026 04:03:23 -0700

I really appreciate any kinds of help.

So i have Asus ROG GL503VD,

As i said on the title, i turn it on then in a few second it turns off immediately without even showing ROG logo.

Here are the events:

I hold the start button
The rainbow light below the keyboard starts glowing as usual, The light that show the battery condition (battery indicator light) is also glowing, The screen is still black.
Soon after, it turns off immediately. Also, i heard a laser gun star wars sound effect in the process. The rainbow light & the battery indicator light are turned off.

Before this thing happened:

I shutdown it by using start button (hot shutdown ? Idk the name really). I was in a hurry.

I’ve tried:

Plug out ac adapter. Anyway, i still can recharge the battery. I noticed the battery indicator lamp turned red (means not 100%), so i recharged it for a while, then it came back to white (100%)
Hold start button 40 sec
Plug out the drive (hdd) (Only the hard drive local disk D, not the ssd one, which is the local disk C).
Plug out the battery. It’s kind of complicated, because the battery can’t be plugged out easily (you know, there are some laptop that the battery can be plugged out easily, like you don’t have to open the body).
Plug in the ac adapter
Plug in the battery
Plug in the hdd

I’ve tried so many combinations

5 then 2, doesn’t work

5 then 1, doesn’t work

4 then 5, doesn’t work

3, 4 then 5, doesn’t work

3,4 then 6,7, doesn’t work

3,4 then 6,7 then 5, doesn’t work

And etc…

Please, i need your help guys, i’m not an official tech guy, i know little about this thing…

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14: Why is my laptop screen flickering?

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 06:30:18 -0700

I've been dealing with my screen randomly flickering and flashing distorting the colors either in vertical or horizontal lines making my screen fuzzy in parts it's mainly been horizontal lines from the bottom, but it takes up most of my screen and this can happen randomly weather I'm just watching YouTube or playing games, I find the only way to make it stop or appear less is by keeping my fans going on turbo mode, but I have found out it does typically go away slightly after my computer heats up and put on turbo mode I've been trying to fix this for months idk how please help

Asus ROG Zephryrus G16 GU603: Why is my charger not working out of a sudden?

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 20:33:56 -0700

Had this laptop for almost 2 years, it is working perfectly until last week. It is not receiving any charge from the brick charger, while usb-c PD was still fine. Tried hard-reset by 60-sec power button pressing, reinstall battery drivers, bought another OEM charger (worked for a day and then not working again) and none of them works. Asked AI and it says it looks like a charging port problem, could be the pin/motherboard fracture. How can I fix that or figure out whats wrong with it? Cheers

Asus Rog GL55VW-DH71: I need help again for my wifi problem on my laptop

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:19:03 -0700

In my previous question that already been answered "My laptop is suddenly could not connect with any Wi-Fi at all" I have a problem with my WLAN card lately, its somehow always suddenly disconnected entirely and shown no wifi connection at all can't even find the network.

One of the user in here @jayeff already helped me and the guide is work at least for the last 3 3 weeks now until today, so it happening again and then i decided to buy a new WLAN card or chipset that recommended to me by @jayeff which i did bought it just in case my problem showing up again and it did!.

And then so when install the WLAN or change from the old one to new one there is a problem, the WLAN did not immediately activated.

So for the note ; My old Wireless card is Qualcomm Atheros AR956x and the new one is Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7264 that is recommended to me.

The problem i have right now is

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}

The requested operation was unsuccessful.

Which i am kind of confuse, i already try to install the driver for this new devices which oddly only the Bluetooth that is work without problem but the wifi is still not connected at all.

So perhaps there is someone that could help me for this problem and guide me to fix it ? or should i just use the old wlan card ?

Thank you for your attention.

Note: Sorry for my bad English

Asus Rog GL55VW-DH71: My laptop is suddenly could not connect with any Wi-Fi at all?

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:01:30 -0700

So it has been 2 time this happening that my laptop suddenly lost all connection from any Wi-Fi, it could not find or even connect to any network. But if i use a cable, internet cable it was working fine but somehow the wireless network was not.

I already try to find the cause of the problem but i don't quite actually knew why and some information that i read is that, the problem is because somehow in the control panel when i check it the Wireless device is hidden and when i see one which i think it was the name of the wireless device on my laptop which is "Qualcomm Atheros AR956X" it said :

"Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)"

I am wondering does anyone had any experience on this one ?

*Sorry for my bad english i am still learning but i do hope someone could help me find the answer for this problem

ROG Strix G15 G512LI: Laptop not turning on

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 03:21:55 -0700

Hello. I got an Asus G512L which doesn't start, from a day to another. I manage to make some measurements on the mother board and got to a an IC ( AYK M16 879 ) witch has 19V on the one of the pins ( i assume is the input ), no voltage on the output coil ( output to gnd = 36.3ohm) and 3,3V on one of the pins ( i assume is the enable pin for the IC). Based on all this investigation, without any datasheet of the IC, i think that the IC (AYK M16 879) is dead. Does anyone has any idea what this IC is ? I put also some pictures with the IC.
