The model is UX550GD.

So this is the first to happen to me. I got water on laptop by accident and this is the type of computer I have: https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-ZenBoo...

I am freaking out. First time with ASUS. Got it back in March. Screen don’t even show on anymore. Sometimes I see light on and I hear fan loud then it goes back off. Gave it to a computer repair place to see if they can save it and repair cause am worried plus I don’t have any rice at home.

Im also thinking of getting additional warranty on it when I get it back and I’m just sad . I love the way computer looks and all and I’m just so frustrated and wonder how is repairs done and if computer will look different.

My monitor supports 3840x2160@60hz via Mini Displayport, but only @30hz via HDMI. However: the built in HDMI is useless in this regard.

Since I am perfectly fine with the performance other than the HDMI output, I thought perhaps there is some USB3.0-compatible device I could use for that matter. Or do I have to buy a new laptop altogether?

I dropped my zenbook and my USB core is damaged. Can I sent to ASUS service centre to fix it? or I can buy any replace housing to replace?

Thank you for helping me

Old battery:

New battery:

While the new battery has the same part number, it’s rated for 4400mAh instead of 4300mAh. There are some other small differences as well, and I’m starting to get worried that this might be a different part. The laptop also has trouble to wake up from sleep or properly shutdown after upgrading to Windows 10, and I fear that these problems combined with this new battery could result in some damage (or worse, cause an explosion).

Will this replacement battery work fine? Are there certain things I should do before using the laptop again (fully charging the battery, etc.)? Or should I just live with the subpar old battery to be on the safe side?

Any answer would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I saw in previous posts that it is possible to update the screen to a 1920x1080 high resolution screen.

I found on internet that the N133HSE-EA1 model is compatible with this ASUS model, but this is a matte screen (TFT LCD). In the Teardown guide I saw it is possible to use an IPS screen, but these screens have the N133HSE-EB3 series number. Is this IPS screen still compatible with the ASUS UX32VD?

I've looked around the Internet and so far I've found no indication as to why this wouldn't work. If anyone has any insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

The adapter doesnt work now, the power jack is ok and the laptop charges well with another adapter (a friend has the same laptop).

Can the adapter be repaired? I live in Argentina and cant get a new adapter from asus :/

I am new on ifixit & this is my first question, hope i'll get help to sort out my issue,

I am facing issue with my Asus UX32VD 13' Laptop, no sound coming from internal speakers!

The headphone jack used to work just fine & external speakers as well using headphone jack but I cannot play the sound from the onboard speakers,

Delete old sound drivers & reinstalled, update with new drivers, reinstalled OS Windows 7, 8, 10 but nothing worked, so its more possible my onboard speakers have hardware problem, is there any way i can fix this issue or take out onboard speakers from laptop & check them some how & confirm whether speakers die or issue is in motherboard?

any help will be high;y appreciated,

Thanks.

However, recently, the other side has been opening up and the top case (the keyboard side) was lifting off. After unscrewing the underside of the case and trying to rescres it, I discovered that the screws near the top of the hinges would not screw back in.

Is this repairable?

Any help with this?

I bought some days ago a zenbook ux510ux , it is a nice device, it works fine, but i m afraid something is wrong with the fan, it is working almost all the time, even if I do nothing or just whaching on youtube etc. ,I need to know if is it actually a problem. It is really annoying sometimes.

Thank you

However, the post on the left side are not. This is a separate board. I would ike to replace this board with a USB type C board, so that I can directly connect USB-C accesories. It doesn't have to be pretty.

As a note I use Arch Linux.

Is there any test-pads for the battery on the Asus Zenbook UX32VD motherboard, so I can solder the battery wires there instead, or any other thoughts on this subject would help.

If anyone knows what the white and yellow wires are used for (on the battery), I guess it is a temperature sensor, correct me if I'm wrong.

The machine booted, but half way through Windows startup, it reset, then it reset again and again... Since then that's all that happens when I turn it on. I see the Asus screen, hear the music, after a few seconds, same again, repeatedly.

Whatever keys I press, I'm unable to access BIOS.

I tried reverting all the hardware back to pre hard drive upgrade, with no effect.

Sent to Asus for repair, but it's out of warranty, they said it needs a new Mobo costing over £700. When I quizzed them, they said they never diagnose faults, just replace the mother board or whichever major component. Anything else costs them too much time.

Anyone ever seen this or has any ideas?
