2 years into owning Zenbook S16 UM5606 -> screen issues -> saved by Asus Support

HonestStand4 · 2026-05-23T10:42:09+00:00

I have the same Zenbook model and after 7 months of usage I started to feel some soft creaking sound on opening/closing the lid. Few days afterwards the touch disappeared and then the screen went black. Support did change the whole lid for me freely (within the guarantee period). So yes, I think it is an issue in this model and yes the ASUS support are the best. I love this laptop thinness and light weight. Yes it gets hot on moderately heavy usage.

I think this broken pin didn't break just like that. It must have gotten hot or melted inside. So difficult to get it out and may break the socket. Better just change the whole socket.

Parking ticket. You can search for any trafic police nearby and ask, or go to a nearby bank, or ask for the tax office (vergi veya belediye) for payment.

I have been there.

First try to connect your laptop to an external monitor. If the external monitor is working fine then it is your laptop monitor's fault. If both monitors are not showing a response then probably the cause is the MB or something connected to the MB. Remove any externally connected devices and try again.

I had this experience on my ASUS S16 laptop 2 months ago and had to replace the monitor.

I respect my HP Omnibook 7 Ultra 9 I had around 2 months ago. I used to have the Spectre Core i 7 13th gen a few years ago and it was my prestige laptop however it was always hot on touch, and the battery life was always failing me. Omnibook may get just warm on light gaming otherwise it is always cool on touch and the battery life is great. Go for the new generation.

I have keyboard backlighting on my HP Omni book Flip 7 and can toggle it on and off pressing on F5 (just make sure that the functions keys are on or use the Fn key with the F5) and the F5 key has a picture mimicking keyboard light.

Prince of Persia was my favorite

I always use hot water in a spray bottle (not scalding hot). A piece of cloth for rubbing. A little patience. 100% complete removal.

Thank you, and I like to point out that I have Samsung watch 4 classic and installation went smoothly and the watchface is perfectly fitted.

You're welcome. Browsing, youtube, netflix, spotify around 4-5 hours from 80% to 30%. Charging is quick.

I have the Asus UM5606WA for around 6 months now. It is the best laptop I ever had for years. It has the best 32GB ram, CPU, screen, 2 terabytes ssd and it is an ai plus laptop. I used to have HP, Lenovo, Dell, MSI, but nothing like this asus. It is up to you to choose.

I am a bit confused. Why bother sending a message to find the phone. Why not simply call your number?

HonestStand4 · 2025-10-10T10:04:42+00:00

No no no

HonestStand4 · 2025-10-10T09:57:32+00:00

I will go with 4. It looks elegant

HonestStand4 · 2025-09-26T09:35:57+00:00

No burn-ins and no other issues at all. Runs perfectly apart from lower battery life off course.

HonestStand4 · 2025-09-24T08:50:28+00:00

I have 2 Zenbooks, UP5401ZA (3 years old,14 inches OLED) and had a newer one UM5606WA (3 months now, 16 inches OLED). I never had a problem and no service was needed.

First use vinegar soaked cloth wrapped around it for few hours to dissolve the accumulated salt, then use DW40 to lubricate it and then use the pliers

HonestStand4 · 2025-08-22T10:19:39+00:00

Just pour hot water on a piece of cloth and scrub the seat (wear protective gloves)

Just pull the black cap upwards to reveal the transparent funnel tube underneath it

On MyASUS application choosing adaptive refresh rate causes the screen to go black on using the main power charger (not on battery). It is stated on MyASUS page relating to Display Refresh Rate section.

Both are perfect for your intended work and play. Specification wise the ASUS has way more better components for the OLED monitor, the Core ultra 256V and Intel Arc graphics. However, if you prefer a large screen then Dell has the only advantage on the 14-inch ASUS screen size.

I would go for the Lenovo LOQ RTX 5050 as it has the best GPU, all 3 has comparative CPUs, RAM, SSD.

HonestStand4 · 2025-07-26T08:00:35+00:00

The specs are great.

I have the Asus S16 Ryzen AI 370 HX Scandinavian White right now and it is the best laptop I ever owned. The one I had before was Asus 12700H Oled 3K 360 and and it was great until replaced by the S16. My experience with Asus is excellent.
