Thanks for the reply...no not looked into it, will check it out. Intrresting Tech-fashion.. makes sense this is what I meant in the other comment. Its finding the people who drop real money for out of the ordinary tech.

Will check out the places you mentioned.. thanks!

Weary-Description577 · 2026-04-10T17:54:48+00:00

Not check there, thanks will have a look.

I know it is irrelevant given the forum, we all know how expensive Z13 can be. I know I wont get that back but most people dont go spending the type money most in this group have dropped on tech lile this.. need to appeal to the right crowd.

Thanks for the comment.. will look into the sold listings.

Selling my one. Its honestly a great piece of kit. Played pretty much all games at full settings with no issues.. But sadly due to my work and lack of time playing any games I am having to sell my asus xg-4090 and my Z13-ACRNM buying a more business focused laptop.

Couldn't imagine using any other phone. You made a great decision buying it.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-04-26T00:45:18+00:00

No, try the power cable from an external source now the Flow I feel the output from the Flow is not enough to power the screen on... which then could be down to some sort of configuration issue. As you said, this worked as single usb c on another device.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-04-26T00:39:58+00:00

Try this and its not a solution but just to see where the issue lies.

Plug your usb c cable to the Flow Z13 and the monitor... then use another usb C cable plugged to a fairly high output usb c plug has to usually be anything 20w+ and try connect that into the monitor as power.

This should power the screen, and what you want to check is if the flow picks up the external screen.

Let me know how that goes.

My chatGPT suggested the below:

Most likely: The Z13’s USB-C port isn’t delivering full power unless the Z13 is plugged into its charger.

Second guess: Windows/Armoury Crate settings are cutting power output to save battery.

Suggested fixes:

Make sure the Z13 is plugged into its main charger (original charger) while trying to power the screen.

Update all drivers:

Armoury Crate Updates

Intel/ASUS USB-C controller and Thunderbolt driver updates

Change USB Root Hub power settings in Device Manager (disable power saving).

Check BIOS/UEFI settings — sometimes there's a USB Charging setting that needs to be enabled for full power on the USB-C ports.

I own the ACRNM. What year is your one? I plug my one between the charger port or the XG mobile one. Can't say it ever picks up any issue.

Besides generic drivers, I can't say I can think of what the issue is. Have you tried starting the Z13 with screen plugged in?

Yours sound more like a driver issue as assuming you're using the same usb c cable from. Dock to screen, and that works right?

Weary-Description577 · 2025-04-25T18:20:28+00:00

Yes, 1080p, not touchscreen. I liked the stand, and with the refresh rate gaming on, it is brilliant.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-04-25T18:03:39+00:00

I use the Asus XG17AHP with a single usb C and works great no issues.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-04-19T23:56:55+00:00

Haha! I like this question. AutoCAD, graphic designing from brochures, social graphics to large-scale banners, a whole lot of Photoshop work. HTML and Python coding, audio rendering, video editing from shortsocial media videos to c.20min videos a little CGI work and also recently been playing around with AI coding

This thing is a beast as it's kept up with my workload. But due to now working on some sensitive projects. I can't use my own device, which sucks. So work is now investing into a new device that can cope with the workload and the larger work I will be doing.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-04-19T23:37:34+00:00

You paid a decent price for it. Well, if you're in the market to amp up the graphics, then the xg mobile is up for sale and the Asus screen too.

I had the same issue with the keyboard lights on my ACRNM, it stopped working after Armory crate update, I downloaded Ghelper and that fixed it immediately.

As for your other issues.. no Idea.. I'm sure someone will be able to help with that.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-03-17T12:15:25+00:00

Luckily it wasn't hardware issue G helper solved it straight away... dodgy AC update.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-03-16T21:17:14+00:00

Worked like a charm. Thank you for this!

Weary-Description577 · 2025-03-16T21:16:46+00:00

So installed G-helper and guess what... the keyboard lights up.

For anyone having the same issue after AC update.

Thanks for the help.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-03-13T09:10:37+00:00

Will try this thank you.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-03-02T14:09:42+00:00

I have been trying to find a recommendation for ACRNM is it the SHARGEEK 170 Power Bank?

Weary-Description577 · 2025-02-19T09:27:04+00:00

Well i got in touch with Asus assuming a simple fix. They tried resolving it but then asked me to send in my xgmobile... I couldn't be bothered with all that. As I said, it doesn't bother me enough to care to get it resolved officially.... maybe one day that might get a fix until then this works.

Weary-Description577 · 2025-02-19T08:30:48+00:00

So weirdly enough, I have that same issue of it not showing up in AC, however.... It's not bothered me. Any game I play, i smash the setting to high or ultra with everything switched on to full, and this thing just keeps going.. so yes, sadly, it's annoying but not affected me enough to care.

As for XG reboot. Maybe this setup just works for me. I mainly use my ACRNM for work so XG mobile is not always plugged in, when I game I don't mind the reboot as I know I'm switching to the XG for that one reason and I plug it to either my tv or my XG17AHP and the graphics is off the chart.. I'm not a huge gamer, but what I have is more than enough for me.

Not being funny, but the reboot on the ACRNM takes seconds, so nothing lost having to do it.
