    asus tuf506IV gaming laptop not charging

    the battery and the charger will power the laptop but it doesn't charge even though it appears to be charging in windows. the sda cn scl voltages seems to be unstable when the charger is connected and i'm not sure why.

    Be sure the power adapter is suited to power this hefty laptop. Use the original from Asus.

    SDA and SCL are not static signals but are communication lines that toggle between 1 and 0 so they may appear erratic. Need a scope to properly view these lines.

          ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
          by flat-earther
          The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

          Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

          This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
          Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
          If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

          Strange! Acer laptop not powering on but charging the battery (orange light on when charger and battery plugged in).
          by serious_electron
          Hello Everyone!

          I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.

          ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
          by grimacelord
          Hello,

          I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

          I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

          The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

          Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...
