I have an Asus A53S which is about 6-7 years old.
I have been having a number of problems, which would be related to one another:-
The battery light on my laptop is either orange all the time or blinking orange when laptop is connected to the charger. To see if it was just a bad battery problem, I removed the battery and tried to start the laptop and I am able to open windows but the laptop will crash after about 10-15 minutes. When I try restarting right after it crashes, it usually will just crash immediately again. So it certainly looks like there's a bigger problem here than just a battery problem. I have read that it could be a motherboard problem or a DC jack problem.
I sent it to the service and repair shop. They recommended a general servicing and to change the fan (they said it wasn't working). They also did a "reballing" - I have no idea what that is. Anyway, after all that, my laptop is still crashing so it just seems like I wasted my money.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
I have been having a number of problems, which would be related to one another:-
- first the charger/adapter stopped working and I bought a replacement (one of those cheap ones)
- then the Asus "ac/battery" indicator would keep on flashing/toggling on my screen. I didn't think too much of it as my computer kept on working like normal except for the annoying indicator flashing
- some time later I noticed that my laptop would crash occasionally for no apparent reason. I noticed that it was overheating a fair bit so I just made sure the underneath was well ventilated etc.
- recently I noticed that my battery would drain to like 70% (when my laptop was plugged in) and my laptop would just crash suddenly. Other times the battery could still be charged to 98% or so and the laptop worked fine.
- now my battery is at 0% and I get the "replace battery" indicator on my laptop.
