    Question Laptop Battery Issues - Does not charge adequately

    Well, I run it flag again until the laptop shut down on its own, then recharged it back to full without turning the computer on, but it did not work. Still gives inaccurate reports. Speaking of which, when I will get a replacement, how do I know it's genuine Asus product and not some kind of...

    Question Laptop Battery Issues - Does not charge adequately

    Correlation is not causation. That app is a Norton antivirus, there is no way it has anything to do with the battery. There is no pending BIOS update, the BIOS is the latest. Tried that, did not help. By "power brick" you refer to another battery or to another AC charger? No. Yes, but...

    Question Laptop Battery Issues - Does not charge adequately

    I am aware of all this, thank you. The point is to determine what is wrong with the battery, first.

    Question Laptop Battery Issues - Does not charge adequately

    Hi, I have an Asus TUF FA506IU in my household with the next configuration: Ryzen 4800H, 16 GB DDR4, GeForce 1660 Ti, 500 GB SSD. The laptop is 3.5 years old and it started to have some weird issues with the battery. The laptop is used by a family member so I do not know precisely when this...

    Question Laptop does not shut down properly or restart ?

    Well, as I mentioned in my first post, the problem does not happen all the time, but erratically. Since I posted this message on Thursday, the problem did not occur again. The only thing I can think of is that, when this problem occurred, I had an USB-C hub with additional USB slots, to which...

    Question Laptop does not shut down properly or restart ?

    With all due respect, I feel we're running in circles. The laptop fails to shut down physically from Windows and has to be shut down from the power button. Basically, the OS shuts down, but the hardware does not. I don't see what booting into safe mode has to do with this, because you boot into...

    Question Laptop does not shut down properly or restart ?

    I think you misunderstood something. It is not possible "to use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer to determine what the system is doing or trying to do during the shutdown process" because Windows does shut down, and therefore tools like "Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and...

    Question Laptop does not shut down properly or restart ?

    Hi, I am having a problem with my Asus ROG G513Q laptop. Out of the blue, it no longer shuts down properly from Windows. When I use the shut down command available in Windows, the OS stops, the screen goes black, but the laptop does not shut down completely: meaning, the keyboard is still...

    Hey, those who own Asus ROG Strix models, can you share how much your laptop screen can open up (I refer to the backward tilt)?

    Question Insufficient lid tilt on Asus ROG laptop ?

    I have a question regarding the maximum angle the lid can tilt on Asus ROG series: from my observation, the ROG series has a pretty poor tilting angle of around 30 degrees only (relative to the plane perpendicular on the laptop's body), while on most other laptops (including Asus' own TUF or...

    Question How to check how much memory your PC supports

    Hi, as the title says, how can you check the maximum amount of RAM memory your PC (desktop or laptop) supports? The usual advice is "check the manufacturer's website", but I want to know how can one verify personally in case he suspects the official specifications are wrong. I've read about the...

    Question Using external displays on a laptop ?

    The laptop I am talking about is an Asus TUF A15 (2022) with Ryzen 6800H and RTX 3070 and a QHD display with 165Hz refresh rate. The external panel varies, either a QHD monitor with 100Hz, or a 60' inch TV 4k at 60 Hz. I always connect through HDMI. I did not specify the models in the first...

    Question Using external displays on a laptop ?

    Hi, I have a question about the usage of gaming laptops with external displays. When gaming, I often connect them to an external display through the HDMI port, because I prefer bigger screens in such a scenario. The question is: should I shut down the laptop internal display in this situation...
