Asus X55C: Laptop Screen shows Pink/Green Horizontal Lines at the bottom.

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 22:14:01 -0700

I have no idea how did this happen.

I left it on while I was sleeping and when I woke up in the morning, it already has these pink lines (when on white background) or green lines (when on black background).

Asus X550CA: Factory reset deleted all the original ASUS apps.

Sun, 20 Jan 2019 06:29:22 -0700

My laptop, which I've had for just over a year began to randomly freeze. I took it in to a third party and the guy reinstalled Windows 8. The problem is that I no longer have the original Asus apps such as 'Smart Gesture' or 'Instan On.' It's all gone. Is there a way to recover these apps?

Asus X555LA-SI305041: Audio cutting out when applying pressure onto keyboard surface.

Sun, 01 Jul 2018 19:43:47 -0700

I am having this issue to which, whenever I slightly bend or tap the left and right surfaces by the mouse pad, the audio makes a pop noise and stops working. I then would have to turn off or put my laptop to sleep and the audio would return. However, any considerable pressure on the surfaces on the side of the mouse pad always causes this with always a pop noise. Something must be loose inside, but I don't exactly know how to identify what part is the audio hardware.

Asus X551CA: Keyboard malfunction,hardware or software problem?

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 21:08:10 -0700

Okay so i know this is not the keyboard itself because i have replaced it and didn't fix the problem. Scanned my whole computer and found no viruses, what the problem is, is that if i were to press key "3" that's above letter "E" it would show up as ".74231" if i press letter "E" the results i get are "hge9+" also the caps lock and spacebar act like this, not every key but about a handful of them do. I have already tried the "fn" "num lk" technique but it still does it.
