    Asus X302UA-FN188T (X302UA_UJ Rev 2.0) - doesn't boot

    Hello,

    The laptop doesn't boot (black screen) after turning on. There were places with corrosion on the board, mainly on the EC, but not very serious.
    Cleaned everything. After powering on the fan starts working and only the backlight of the LCD turns on (but very dim).
    There is no signal from the HDMI connector either.
    I tried to flash the BIOS but to no luck.

    * BIOS dumps from here - viewtopic.php?f=40&t=102989&p=770516&hilit=%2Ax302ua%2A#p770516
    and https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthrea ... ght=x302ua

    Main voltages are: 1.12v 5.24v 3.39v 12.51v

    I measured the voltages to the processor, but not sure if they are good (see img).

    Any one have an idea what to do next?

      There's builtin RAM on board, I just tried external to see if it'll help.
      Didn't check consumption on dc supply, connected it with the original adapter, I'll check it.
      Powergood signals - don't have schemes :\

        You can check powergood signals with the help of boardview. Consumption pattern on dc supply indicates a lot of things and most of the times gives clue for diagnosis. So better, if you can check it on dc supply.

              Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo
              by throwaway327
              ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
              Model No: RC72LA
              Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

              Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

              I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

              by trbovan
              Laptop is a GL731GT with the I7-9750h and GTX1650.

              Full model number is gl731gt-rb71-cb
              Serial: (placeholder for when I get home)
              Board model: G531GT REV. 1.5

              Issue: Laptop was password protected with admin password. I extracted the Bios with the CH341A and ASprogrammer. I Initially saved the backup. I then scoured the internet for a rom to flash to the chip. I found a file and flashed it. I then read it back to verify and mistakenly over wrote my backup of the original Bios.

              I assembled and tested anyway. The bios worked, I was able...

              Asus laptop won't boot (no power) - possible bad caps?
              by jrodefeld
              I would like to see if anyone could help me salvage a very expensive laptop that is no longer working.






              The model:
              Asus Zenbook Pro Duo UX582L

              I have used this laptop lightly since I purchased it new in 2022. I have always taken precautions to take care of it the best I could, and have never done anything that would risk causing damage to it or shorten it's life.

              However, around six months ago, the laptop stopped working on battery power. It continued to work fine when plugged in, but as soon as power was disconnected,...
