I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine. I wish I'd checked it further because I started having problems as soon as I got it home and powered up. First of all, they replaced the motherboard so when I got it back it had been wiped and reset. First thing I noticed was that the … Re: And so the cookie crumbles... 4 Weeks Ago by Dani > My decision were based on the "arrogance" of some moderators, it seemed that the entire site moved away from being a community service to a "I am the boss, do as I say" environment.

If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim When I got it back they had replaced both the motherboard and the power supply and I checked in the store to verify there were no power issues. I suspect you are correct about them not reconnecting the touchpad as that was not working in Linux either. As for GPT vs NTFS, I have never formatted to anything but NTFS, and when I originally got the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Likewise... Whenever I reinstall Windows, other than the times I've reset to factory, when it gets to the "where do you want to install to" I always get the installer to delete, then recreate the partition. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I got a call from Best Buy this morning to tell me my laptop was back. When I got to the counter I told the tech that I would not accept it until they showed me that it could be reset to factory. I'll leave out a few of the details that don't matter to the tale. He powered up the laptop and showed me Windows 11. The touchpad was working. He went… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Sounds like a very bad recovery image Possibly. But why didn't this show up when they did the reset prior to returning the laptop? Imagine that you just bought a car (should be pretty easy for you). You and your wife take a drive in the countryside and at some point you drive over a nail and get a flat tire. No problem because you have a … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got a call from Best Buy at 6:30 pm the same day. He informed me that the Windows system that the tech installed was not the OEM version for my machine. I asked why this should matter since I requested a reset to factory from the recovery partition. He said they couldn't do that because the recovery partition had been corrupted. So that's two … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >At some point you are stuck with a clean install I'm using my father-in-law's old laptop in the interim. When I inherited it I took out the old drive and put in a spare SSD. I didn't bother restoring the diagnostic or recovery partitions. It's quite peppy now. It's also an ASUS, but purchased before they started making crap. At some point, … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by toneewa I wouldn't worry about not having any ASUS utilities. You can always download them later, [here](https://www.asus.com/support/download-center/). I consider them all bloatware.

Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I called Best Buy Friday morning to ask about the status of my laptop. I was told the average wait time was one minute. Fifteen minutes later I was told there were eight calls ahead of me and would I like to leave my number for a callback. I did so and after two more hours of waiting I called the local Best Buy direct. I was told my laptop would be… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by toneewa Sounds like you got it all squared away. One reason I don't want to ever do a Windows reinstall is the compilers, libraries, and other software configurations. I've done 1 since 2015 for myself, with Windows 10. I also expect since, NAND flash SSDs wear out, it'll happen sooner or later. Only 37% life of drive remaining. Best of luck!
