Asus Zenbook UX301LA: Fan constantly running at max speed

Sun, 29 Dec 2019 12:08:51 -0700

I have a problem with an ASUS Zenbook UX301LA where 10-20 minutes after I boot up the fan will start running at maximum speed regardless of temperature/CPU usage.

If I just start up and leave it idle the fan will kick in after a short time, the temperature sensors show core temp hovering around 32-38°C (90-100°F) and the CPU usage not rising above 2-5%. Once the fan is stuck on max even after a couple of hours idle it won't come down.

I've updated all drivers in device manager, updated the BIOS, downgraded the BIOS but to no effect (I have had other problems with the BIOS since upgrading to Windows 10, but I didn't have this problem for the first 4 months or so after the upgrade). I also tried to build this laptop fan control tool but didn't have any luck on Windows 10 (I know pretty much nothing about Windows system programming).

Any suggestions much appreciated :) It's not a huge problem but it would be nice to find a fix. The fact that the temperature sensors are showing sensible values makes me think it's not just a damaged/unplugged sensor.

Asus Zenbook UX301LA: Need to Replace Keyboard on Asus UX301LA laptop?

Sat, 28 Dec 2019 11:00:38 -0700

I am having issues with several of my keys on my keyboard suddenly not working. Have tried installing all new drivers, spent over an hour online w/ Asus Support re: same. They finally (unable to figure it out) said that I should replace the keyboard. I have obtained a brand new OEM keyboard from China and I now need some assistance on how to replace it. Can anyone suggest a resource or give me some direction?? I've tried looking on YOUTUBE but haven't found anything for this model Asus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Asus Zenbook UX301LA: What is the connector type for the BIOS battery

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 05:51:01 -0700

My BIOS battery is dead. The outer package of the battery reads "KTS 3a CR1220W 3.0V", and the actual cell inside the package is a CR1220. I'd like to replace this battery. I can get the cell easily enough, but the cell is spot welded to two wires which are connected to a white plastic connector. I need to find out what connector that is.

Asus Zenbook UX301LA: Stuck in BIOS or blue screen, can't even restore.

Thu, 30 Jan 2020 18:32:56 -0700

The second time this has happened! Last time I had the hard drive replaced. However, I want to know what is causing this and if there is any other way to solve this issue? Occasionally I can actually enter my password and access the desktop but then it freezes, crashes and returns to the blue screen… error CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. Actually the Asus notebook UX430U

Asus Zenbook UX301LA: UX301 - Am I able to clean fans and change battery by myself?

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 14:56:39 -0700

As the title says I want to give my Asus Ultrabook UX301 some love after 3 years of usage by cleaning the fans and replacing the battery

The Asus Servicehotline wasn't really helpful as they said "I don't know whether you can change battery and clean the fans. Just send it to us". But it's not an option for me to go several weeks without my laptop AND to pay hundreds for it.

That being said I can't find any answer by just googling. So. Is someone here who already did it and can explain whether it's possible and how?

Thanks in advance

Asus Zenbook UX301LA: Anyone has upgraded the SSDs of UX301LA?

Sat, 11 Feb 2023 01:15:52 -0700

My UX301LA comes with M.2-SATA 256GB SSD by 128G x2 in raid 0
While I found that the SSDs of UX301LA are M2 2260 type instead of M2 2280

Recently I was looking around on Amazon & eBay but seems there's no any 256 / 512 / 1TB M2-SATA SSD exists :(

I can not find any information in the UX533F. The model mentioned in this question looks the closest to the zenbook I am looking for a battery for. Wondering if they have the same battery.

Asus Zenbook UX301LA: Touchpad is malfunctioning for the weirdest reasons.

Thu, 01 Dec 2016 21:16:50 -0700

The device thing is inaccurate; I actually have a zenbook flip UX360 but it wasn't on the menu.

So I have the weirdest problem. I was using ubuntu and my asus touchpad randomly froze. I tried booting up ubuntu on a bootable flash drive and the mouse started working again! That is, until I turned the laptop upside down and it froze. Like what in the world? I'm starting to think that this touchpad is a hardware problem now. It happened twice already on two separate reboots, and now the touchpad cursor is completely gone. The cursor also works with a mouse.

Asus Zenbook UX301LA: I think a wiring is bad because my screen is flickering

Mon, 12 Sep 2016 13:38:17 -0700

ever since i changed my battery on my laptop my screen started flickering. its not a gpu problem because it doesnt happen when i plug in an hdmi. sometimes it stopes when i close the laptop and reopen it or other times when i take the laptop screen back. this lead me to think it is a wiring issue. the only problem is im not sure which wire im supposed to change or readjust.
