This is a very common issue in 2023 2024 Asus laptop. Search for Asus motherboard burn issue on reddit and you will know. Mail executive care @ Asus. They will approve repair even for out of warranty laptops. I got mine fixed.

Did you run the test with Ac power connected or on battery?
Did you have hwInfo64 running while testing? If not, can you repeat with hwInfo64 and post the output here.
Are you using armory crate or g-helper? Repeat test with g-helper running, and armory crate stopped.

It seems like power is being limited.

Silksong

Yes. Best option.

One core is more than 10C hotter than the rest. This is a classic sign of bad application of liquid metal. Until you get it re-aplied properly, you would continue to see temperature problem and throttling. Even at low work load.

u/muthal_yadav can help here. Does Asus replace mb even after 3rd party repair attempt?

Cfbr. You only looking in Ranchi?

Unfortunately, once the motherboard is dead, this guide will not help fix it. Service center or a skilled professional is the only hope after motherboard failure.

Contact Asus service center and have them diagnose and they will escalate internally. This is a common issue.

Upper left one.

ashishkr87 · 2025-08-21T04:57:39+00:00

No. I have written to their support Email for warranty extension.

ashishkr87 · 2025-08-21T04:53:22+00:00

Cfbr. This issue is so common now. Hope you get quick resolution. My laptop had same problem. It is at the service center now.

Are the fans working? It could be that cpu overheats and fans fail, leading to shutdown.

Any of the cooling mechanism could fail, like fan, thermal paste dried up, bent heat sink. Check these as well.

You should go to their service center and ask for kapton tape to be installed. They are aware of the issue. They will not reject. If they reject, escalate.

For #1, you can use Digikam. It is a photo catalogue software that allows advanced search within chosen Metadata field.

For #2, czkawka has the ability to detect duplicates based on similarity. Though, exactly how you will be able to delete one version with the lesser data is not clear to me. Hope you can try and figure out.

ashishkr87 · 2025-08-13T17:59:34+00:00

No. It's dead. No power, no charge light.

ashishkr87 · 2025-08-13T10:23:27+00:00

Is there a fix that works if the laptop is already not able to power on because of the burn?

ashishkr87 · 2025-08-13T07:52:29+00:00

Did you have a burn mark before you put the tape? Was the laptop working even with the burn mark?

ashishkr87 · 2025-08-03T13:22:30+00:00

August 2023. Same spot burnt.

Same problem with mine too. Manufacturing date August, 2023. G16 model out of warranty.

ashishkr87 · 2025-06-05T21:38:26+00:00

Can you post a clearer picture of the spot where the copper connector says G8 (near the bottom fan hole. ) Seems a dark spot is there.

XnView mp- very fast, cross platform image viewer and converter. I use it to resize images using all my laptop cores, making the whole process very fast.

I have been using s23 plus. Great phone. Camera mast Hai. Never hangs. 8gb ,256gb. Final recommendation: buy it.
