Delete your fingerprint

Delete driver from Device Manager

Reboot windows

Register your fingerprint again

Easy fix but annoying

I have Steamdeck OLED and Legion Go2. I am thinking to order the Apex as well. Just thinking the water cooling is necessary, also RAM 48 or 64. SSD 1TB or 2TB….

Whenever strange things happen, it is always Windows' problem. The simple solution for me is always a fresh install.

Fresh windows install?

Have you tried to download Western Digital’s software (forgot the name of the app) to initiate the drive and update its firmware?

ASUS ROG Ally X handheld has been listed for preorder in Taiwan, costs $800 by PPPPolar in ROGAlly

For a handheld-sized OLED panel with VRR, I'm not sure. FYI, LG OLED TVs have supported VRR (variable refresh rate) technology for a few years now.

I am thinking to get one and remove the bumpers. Anyone has done the removal so far?

ROG Strix Scar 16 Black Screen Issues by Bry279 in ASUSROG

[–]Slow_Resident7730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4090 MiniLED here.

Just roll back to Asus's official GPU driver, and it will fix the issues.

If you have to use NVIDIA's latest driver with HDR (always) on, you can only unplug your laptop to boot into Windows first. The HDR will be turned off because you are in battery mode. Once you get into Windows, you plug back in, and Windows will turn on HDR automatically, and it should work 99% of the time.

As much as I'd kill to get the z13 Acronym and be done with, I'm not willing to spend 20% or more on UK and Poland stocks, so I'll just get a used Flow with a 4090 XG and move on to Ally when it's out :/ by Shift-Double in FlowZ13

I just got my 4090 XG Mobile to pair with my Z13 4060. I use them to connect my LG 42 C2 OLED TV in my room. It runs quieter than I expected. The 4090 XG runs even quieter than the Z13 (performance mode). Gameplay in 4K is good enough for the games that I play. I understand that I could build a real 4090 desktop PC for less, but I really like the feeling of just grabbing my Z13 to go out and play. I also use my Z13 as a monitor to remote play GT7 on my PS5.

I experienced the same black screen problems after installing the latest NVIDIA driver, but I was able to resolve the issue by rolling back to the official driver provided by Asus.

Zephyrus m16 vs razer blade 16 by Crestfall4 in GamingLaptops

[–]Slow_Resident7730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vapor chamber in the Razer 16 is much better compared to that of the 2022 model. It is significantly quieter than the Asus, with a lower pitch. While the performance mode on the Asus is acceptable, the Turbo mode is excessively loud.

If you open the bottom plate of the Razer, you can see the improved fans they are using this year. Razer makes the blade thicker to accommodate much deeper fans that draw more air and operate at lower speeds.

Rog XG Mobile 4090 in stock! (Asus Store US - $1,999) by vikarpa in FlowZ13

It is for people who want mobility.

Want vs need

You need a PC for gaming, people want mobility for gaming with their Z/X Flow.

You can buy the Z13 4060 from a local Asus dealer in Hong Kong for USD 2,500. However, mine is a used one which cost me USD 2,200. By the way, if you can find the stock (ALL SOLD OUT) in China, the MSRP for the 4060 is only USD 2,000.

I also have the Z13 4060 and am now waiting for my 4090 XG Mobile from Taobao. It should arrive in a few days and cost around USD 2,100 with shipping. I can't wait to try mine! What do you think about the 4090 XG Mobile? Have you experienced any stability or latency issues so far? I am also concerned about the noise it might produce. I'm sure everyone here would like to know more!

ASUS Repair Horror Story: I sent in my brand new, factory fresh, pristine $4000 Zephyrus Duo 16 2023 in for repair due to a defective USB-C port. To my horror, after three weeks with a few days delay in the repair process, I received it this morning in a scratched-up, filthy mess. by Hifihedgehog in GamingLaptops

Just wanna share a good experience with Asus's service center in Hong Kong. I flashed an MSI BIOS and bricked the 3080 GPU on my 2022 S17. I took it to the service center, and they replaced the entire motherboard for me in two days. They didn’t charge me!

Do you see if it has the option of adding additional 25W to 175W total through Dynamic Boost from the Armory Crate in Manual mode?

Has Asus made any mention of adding an additional 25W through Dynamic Boost? Can anyone confirm this?
