I knew there might be something fishy about this. The laptop was barely used when I bought it form an elderly relative who bought it because he thought it was “light” and not heavy. The shop has great yelp reviews. I guess in this world, there can be no trust. When the laptop stopped working, I...

Hello everyone, I would really appreciate your insight on my experience with this repair shop. Here is an account of what transpired. I bought a used ASUS ROG gaming laptop, i7 6700HQ, 16 RAM, 1 TB HD, GTX 960, windows 10, that had a defective WiFi card and a defective USB port. So I took it...

Thank you for your reply. Was the link I provided earlier the correct website to download windows 10 OS? Is it an ISO file? Can I just go an download it on an 8 GB USB stick? Will Microsoft charger me anything? I will not be able to do it on the laptop with a damaged hard drive. I will use a...

Laptop info, ASUS ROG GL552VW. Windows 10, i7 7600HQ, 16 RAM, GTX 960, 1 TB HD. It has a DVD ROM. I think I fried my HD after a hard restart by clicking on the power button for 60 seconds. The laptop is not responsive any more. So my question is how to install windows 10 once the only HD has...

Update: So I tried to do a hard restart by holding the power button for 60 seconds. And now the laptop is not responsive. I removed the battery and charger and put them back again, with no luck. Laptop has some flashing lights (light bulb) and noise that starts and stops? Did I cause some...

Thank you for the detailed reply. I am a bit surprised by the performance of this Asus rog strix laptop. I used to have a asus rog gl552vw with a GeForce 960 DGPU. But I sold it to buy the ASUS rog gl502vt with a GeForce 970 DGPU. My rational is that the 970 will offer Better performance when...

So I was able to access windows interface by just turning on the laptop randomly. I really did not do anything. But the fan is emitting a very loud noise that keeps on starting and stopping. Any idea what might be the issue with this noise and how to fix it? Thanks
