Battery in my Asus G751JT
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 3:17 pm
quit working and shut down the laptop. It would not turn on with the power brick or battery only. So I began the process of taking it apart to remove the battery to see if it can start without it. The process is...well...a fucking pain in the ass. There is a short video on the process:
So I was playing a game, and all of a sudden it simply shut down. It was not hot, but I did let it cool, but it would still not power on. Upon removing the battery, I noticed that a section had bulged and I noticed the electrical burning smell. So now the battery is stilling outside to make sure it does not catch on fire. So now I have to settle with another replacement battery, this time from Amazon. The one that caused the failure I bought from NewEgg.
It's a nice laptop, but the design of the battery compartment, making it not user friendly to the average joe to change it out. Asus wants you to send the entire laptop to them for repair, causing upward of $600, which does not include shipping or even the coast of a battery. My new battery should be here tomorrow.
