Starting a new thread for this after having posted on an older thread that was similar problem.
Asus Republic of Gamers Laptop having - smoke coming out when I plug in the power supply - comes out immediately. I have seen this issue is extremely common by doing google searches.
Took apart laptop and have mb to work with. Tested across +/- without removing power plug from board and verified it is shorted. Ordered a kit for desoldering waiting for that to arrive (early next week maybe Oct 2). Then will remove power plug and test both board at the pin connection points and the power plug itself to see which one is shorted. So...waiting for the kit to move forward will post results and seek advice for next steps. I did order the power plug to mount a new one since this one is looking a little frazzled even if it's not the problem.
