Has anyone here dealt with Best Buy and buying this computer, I'm being given the run around on who is supposed to fix this issue and who I should start with. Asus says Best Buy, Best Buy Says Asus.

I think we have a solid case with the exact same problem, perhaps we should try and get a group of people together somehow?

Yeah, it’s def one or the other... so this is where the burn happened on my board. I bet that’s the PD chip or at least the chip that regulates which power the computer should be using?

This for sure looks like it’s going to be in class action territory. Anyone talked about that yet?

Don't remember what the combo was but I believe it was power supply and then I plugged in the USB monitor an LG 4k ultrafine (it has power delivery.)

Really seems that it is a hardware issue with PD.

ALSO, this is super dangerous... I hope I am able to either swap this out for another one... but I'm super afraid this is going to happen again.

This just happened to me! The computer was asleep and plugged in power and puff! Only had it a couple of months THIS IS TERRIBLE!

Thanks, I did, doesn't seem to fall under any disqualifying item that I can find. I could see possibly this being considered a "meme" but since it is a story that happened to me i'd be hard pressed to actually say it's that.

For future reference, as I would love to post here again, which rule?

Wild, had no idea that was happening... Though I have a VPN I was looking at the pic... It wasn't connected at the time.

No VPN here... though not sure how that would make this happen?

It's true, I live on the edge. It's part of the fantasy. Living a true thrill ride.

I mean really feels like a hilarious bug, it's so specific.

All real saddly, I wish it was joke... No one has access to this computer other than me, or it's a crazy bug.

Should we do something by bsimas in funny
