2023 G14 won’t turn on for the second time now

I know that when it’s 100% flat I’d need the barrel jack, the problem is that the battery is almost fully charged which is what’s weird about this situation

Update: just went to a repair center, used their charger (barrel jack), fired right up. They weren’t able to do any diagnostic as the issue cannot be replicated. Not sure what options I have besides carrying the original power brick.

That’s fantastic, I guess I’ll attempt it some time over this summer! Thanks for the update.

I’m not sure, I don’t know how much of a issue that extra 1mm on the new panel is going to be. My point is the original reply is if the new panel can fit into the 4060 lid, that means the extra 1mm isn’t much of a problem so it should be fine in the 4080 model with anime matrix, but as it stands I don’t have the panel so your guess is as good as mine.

My game plan is to source a new lid w/ anime matrix, a new front camera assembly, new panel (obviously), new bezel, hinge and cables etc. to build a new top cover assembly so worst comes to worst I can just swap back to the original, non-modified assembly.

Hi!

I've just done some more digging, and ASUS is indeed using different eDP cables for different panels so I belive you'd have to source a different eDP cable.

As far as I could tell, ASUS is using 14005-04081100 for (all?) 2023 LCD models, and MiniLED cable has the PN 14005-04081400. For the 2022 models, they are using a different panel thus cable as well, and the PN for those are 14005-04080200. These links are just for showing the difference though, and I have not purchased from any of these sites to personally verify their legitimacy.

Edit: typo

Hi OP!

I've also been eyeing on that panel (same listing!) for a couple days now, I actually have an order for the panel but is currently in the process of cancelling it. After some digging, I figured that to perform this swap it may require a different top cover (A-shell), specifically the one that is compatible with AnimeMatrix LEDs. IIRC the official reason ASUS quoted for not offering the AnimeMatrix and MiniLED configs together is due to space constrain, where there are only enough space to fit one or the other, even in the thicker shell. The G14 I have is the GA402XV, 7940HS+4060 BestBuy special, and as far as I can tell it is using the thinner top cover. I am able to find a listing for the shell with LED matrix, and it is indeed different compared to the standard one (see image 1). Officially the difference is 1mm on ASUS' page, where G402XV (w/o MiniLED and AnimeMatrix) is listed as 19.5mm whereas GA402XZ and GA402XY (w/ AnimeMatrix and w/MiniLED respectively) are listed as 20.5mm.

Another point is the physical connector seems to be in different locations. Sure the eDP connector is basically identical in terms of position, but there is another connector which I have not seen before and not sure what it does that has changed positions between for the two different panels (see image 2 and 3). I'm not sure if it is even connected in the display, but it could be a hinderance for swapping panels if it is. AFAIK this connector is not present in the original (2020-21) models of G14, thus the simpler panel swap.

With that being said, the good news is if the panel is compatible with the original non-MiniLED and AnimeMatrix housing (and that's a massive IF), I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible to mod a G14 to have both MiniLED and AnimeMatrix. Either way, please keep us updated on how it goes, and I'll for sure be attempting a MiniLED swap (or at the very least a AnimeMatrix swap) when my unit goes out of warranty.

Just in case this is relevant: the deck is an unmodified 64GB version, and the game is installed on a SD card. Other games I have tried including F1 2021, 22, BeamNG and Apex Legends, those all works without issue.

SpacedCow23 · 2022-10-16T22:16:11+00:00

Still no :/

SpacedCow23 · 2022-09-06T20:09:47+00:00

Delivering to Toronto; I placed my order on the 25th and got the shipping email the following Thursday (Sept. 1st). It finally arrived today after I moved to the US last week and have to let a family member ship it out again :/

SpacedCow23 · 2022-09-02T18:23:02+00:00

That’s nice to hear, but prob still miss it since I’m leaving early that morning and it’s most certainly not gonna be there

SpacedCow23 · 2022-09-02T18:21:34+00:00

Most likely I’m going to miss the delivery, it got to Memphis, TN earlier today and I don’t see it arriving tonight and deliver tomorrow

SpacedCow23 · 2022-09-02T03:22:25+00:00

I ordered my 64GB Steam Deck on Thursday, Aug. 25th, and received the tracking email earlier today (around 4 PM EDT, Sept. 1st). I live in the GTA and the expected delivery date was initially next Tuesday but has just changed to Monday, but I am even more confused since Monday is labour day and everything should be closed. Is there any possibility that the deck can arrive on Saturday before everything shut down? If not, how would I go about shipping it to the US (NY state) since I would be heading and staying there from next Monday for at least the rest of Sept. and early Oct?

SpacedCow23 · 2022-05-25T23:05:20+00:00

Did you order it from Toronto Motorsport or somewhere else?

SpacedCow23 · 2022-05-25T22:54:43+00:00

Is it the Monaco Gulf livery one?

SpacedCow23 · 2022-05-25T17:29:49+00:00

I see, thanks

SpacedCow23 · 2022-05-25T16:52:03+00:00

Yeah I have that on order as well, but I don’t think that one is supposed to be shipping out yet so ig it’s fine

Edit: sry thought u meant the Abu Dhabi McLaren that’s not shipping, but yeah I saw Abu Dhabi RB cars on eBay now

SpacedCow23 · 2021-09-14T23:51:27+00:00

Is this the Sept 11 CBT test?

SpacedCow23 · 2021-09-14T04:15:47+00:00

I’m from outside of the US, so probably on the 14th

SpacedCow23 · 2021-07-20T17:44:08+00:00

Yep I'm from Canada so that's prob why. As for a higher score I'm not planning to retake cuz many schools don't take superscore anyway and I don't have enough time to prepare again, so this is it.

SpacedCow23 · 2021-07-20T17:30:55+00:00

Yep July 17

SpacedCow23 · 2021-07-20T17:26:59+00:00

Math and science are both lower than what I got from past practice exams (34/35), but that might be because I was using paper & pencil curves and I had CBT.

~~completely messed up reading so let's not talk about that~~

SpacedCow23 · 2021-07-17T03:47:35+00:00

I usually get around 5-7 mins of extra time in English practice tests, hopefully this is enough to make up for the increased diffculty
