I accidentally plugged a 5V RGB connector from a Corsair LL fan into the 12V header on my x570 F Strix motherboard. The fan made a pop sound, smoked and doesn't turn on anymore. PC does turn on and work fine apparently. I don't care about the fan, but could this affect the motherboard? I'm...

Already ordered a new one. I just hope it will work. It will take a little while before it arrives. I'll post when I get it.

Thanks for the reply! The speaker pins are soldered to the motherboard, and, I'm 100% sure that's not the problem, because I found out something new. If I remove the battery and the AC, release the static by holding the power button for 30s, then power it back on the speakers work. If I restart...

So I have a Zephyrus s17 (GX701GWR) which is not in warranty anymore. Today the speakers did not work anymore, although the system detects them and says that they are working fine. I opened the laptop up to clean it and before screwing it back in I turned it on and the sound waas working, so I...

Unfortunately I tried everything you mentioned. I reinstalled the drivers, Windows, and updated the bios to the latest version. Its strange to see a 3000 dollar laptop stop working on battery over night. Ill seek help on other forums as well I guess.

Thanks for your reply! I've contacted Asus and searched the internet. Repasting my processors did void the warranty at Asus too. I have already tried what you mentioned, even went as far as to open the laptop and fully reseat the battery connectors (since it is an internal battery, not...

It's strange to see your CPU power throttle when below 90C. I also have a Razer advanced with the i7 9750h (which produces even more heat that the 8750h) and it stays at 4ghz sustained under the heaviest of loads, so it's not a problem with the laptop's design not being able to support a...

Yep. I repasted the CPU & GPU as soon as I got it. That voided the warranty. Probably a bad move to be honest.

I know this question has been asked many times, but I have not seen anyone describe it the way it happened to me. I bought an Asus Zephyrus GX701GWR a couple months ago and has been working perfectly until now. Just a couple of days ago I ran the laptop on battery for about 4 hours before...
