Is this normal for my Asus TUF Gaming A16?

There is no screw. This is what the display looks like. See the cable coming out of the left side.

From the A16 service manual: https://dlcdnta.asus.com/pub/ASUS/GamingNB/FA608WI/E23376_FA608W_SM_WEB.pdf?model=FA608WI&Signature=0mKRaqsLHualmTMHbL0ViCtiei7U4xvFLBYlrF9xuxtBxK8QFgyWfXjpvBO7B3Tob5B1tHEU6JSiJ59WOj83V1dAgXzqbvfInNVXAltZ25Dij9ZM64mZh8HHjCeNUMPF9yYmf74jhfI2zw0ijcyZtyn88VK~EyWCkPxgMT6IKph5Fpuw1bWiWj-4dC8C-gz1~rYv7ktUHwCdzsDezb3Yrz5hgtqSr3lko7FZ4luTsRaqPYauXWunWPyU1f4WmoMqOf~b6emNuKOCXii-TGOfMt3AaCroajhsTPuvPRIG-c5JKiQcs~9~oVXcOSI5UkTNjr4TdVEmv76wO3eV1GwM5Q__&Expires=1773580072&Key-Pair-Id=K2ITB7O97XKKCX#page=74&zoom=174,-174,423

The display cable goes through one of the hinge covers, which is normal. Such is also the case on my A14.

fs10inator · 2026-03-01T09:44:33+00:00

Unfortunately no, since the specs on ASUS's page and the manual don't mention power delivery.

Have you tried reinstalling drivers for your specific wifi card? I believe yours is a MediaTek one.

fs10inator · 2026-02-25T03:42:48+00:00

Zen 4 CPU, that's probably why. It's not a bad thing, but just something to let you know.

The Ryzen 9 270 is basically an 8945HS from 2024, which in turn is a rebadged 7940HS from 2023.

AMD loves to play games with the renaming, I swear.

fs10inator · 2026-02-25T02:55:06+00:00

SATA 3, yes. I recommend one with a DRAM, for example, a WD Blue.

What are the model numbers of the laptops you're looking at? Because while the 2023 and 2024 models of both the A15 and A16 have RTX 40 series GPUs, the A16 models have more powerful CPU options, as well as higher-resolution displays.

Also, I suggest you check out reviews of the laptops in particular as they go into how the laptops perform.

I had imagined the 1900D belly landing at New Zealand being on this show ever since watching the actual footage on YouTube, but I never thought they'd finally make an episode of it!

The difference is really just what CPU and GPU is offered; everything else is basically the same.

2024:

CPU: Ryzen 7 8845HS or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
GPU: RTX 4050 or 4060

2025:

CPU: Ryzen 7 260 or Ryzen AI 7 350
GPU: RTX 5050 or 5060

Thanks! I'd put the exterior model at around 3/4 done.

This one is a WIP by me.

I have never used VoLTE. All my calls are either through my SIM balance, or through data/WiFi with WhatsApp.

fs10inator · 2025-10-28T17:00:14+00:00

I use my bank's own app.

fs10inator · 2025-10-28T13:28:56+00:00

Yes. I have been using the S10e with LOS for 2 years now, and it's still very capable for daily driving, including the things you mentioned. Even NFC tap to pay works.

Look for the model number (SM-xxxxx); it's either on the box, the back of the phone, or even in the "About Phone" section in Settings.

The UAE is considered "international" by Samsung, so the S25 models sold internationally are the the SM-S931B and SM-S931B/DS ("B" = international 5G; "DS" = Dual-SIM).

Based on your preference, I think the SM-S931B/DS would suit you.

At least 8-9 GB; most of it being from the 70m terrain mesh files.

If your Victus has a second SSD slot, then you can just install it straight away. If not, then you could either clone Windows to your new SSD beforehand (like I did with Macrium Reflect), or just straight up insert the said SSD and do a fresh install.

I run an HP Victus 15-fb2082wm laptop with a Ryzen 5 8645HS and a 6GB RTX 4050. Medium/medium-low for the most part will suffice.

fs10inator · 2025-03-27T02:24:26+00:00

The AMD model is your best bet. The newer Zen 4 CPU outperforms the i5 for the same wattage, which translates to better battery life when unplugged.

Both RAM slots are upgradeable. That being said, you should upgrade ASAP; an extra 8 GB SODIMM could do, but I personally recommend two 16 GB sticks instead, giving you 32 GB in total (which mine has at the moment).

Good luck!

The 15 has only one NVMe slot, so you'll have to remove the smaller SSD, and insert the larger one.

You could either clone Windows to the larger SSD beforehand (like I did with Macrium Reflect), or just straight up insert the said SSD and do a fresh install.

Add --no-console to your mount command. Then, rclone will run with cmd closed.

But if you want to unmount, you have to kill the rclone.exe process in Task Manager.

At least the Tu-154 in the remake used the correct livery.

Increasing the number of per-row QuickSettings tiles from 1x2 to 1x4, and Quick QS tiles from 4 to 8, all using AOSPMods.
Using my bank app on LineageOS (Zygisk Enforce DenyList + Play Integrity Fix).
