I know that there's a version of my laptop that comes with the 1080p screen (also in matte finish) but I don't know if it has different cables/connector.

I appreciate the answer, because I have a bright spot on my screen and I want to replace it soon.

Thanks mates,

Yago.

I used to use my iSSD as a second storage partition. Now it died.

Until a few hours ago, I was running windows 10 preview. Here follows what I have done and my problem

1 - Removed the HDD and replace by SSD Saumsung EVO 850.

2 - Tryed to do a clean install of windows 10, it ends in an infinit loop and never reaches the installation menu.

3 - Tryed windows 7, the same problem.

4 - Tryed Ubuntu, it runned, showed several errors due to iSSD failure but installed and runs normally and very fast.

5 - Tryed to put the HDD with win 10 back, windows won't start.

My problem is the following, I don't want to be stuck with ubuntu, I think that I have not been able to install win due to the iSSD that is reconized by the bios that is already on version 214, the last one available on Asus website.

On ubuntu, sometimes iSSD is recognized sometimes not. But never I am able to edit partition or whatever.

If anyone can give me a hint on how to solve this problem. I have also contacted ASUS, but as my laptop is no longer under warranty I am hopeless on their solution.

Thanks for help.

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 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?

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.

Any help with this?

I rebooted the machine several times to find out when/why the probem happens. I have now narrowed it down to the following:

- when i boot, the laptop starts fast.

- IRST shows both SSD and HDD

- a few moments after, either when i have clicked the browser icon or otherwise, the laptop freezes, disk LED not blinking

- if i wait patiently for 3-4 minutes, the laptop miraculously wakes up

- IRST shows only HDD present (screenshot attached)

- after that the laptop runs perfect.

Thinking that this could be a result of Win8.1 upgrade, I have rolled back to the factory settings of the UX32VD like I bought it 2 yrs back. The problem continues.

The problem is repeatable easily.

Is this related to the SSD or the HDD or neither? Please guide. Thanks much!

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?

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 :/
