Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. 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 …

If the power connector was replaced with the motherboard, then your charging cord is suspect. If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated).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 …

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 …

"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 …

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.

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…

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 …

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. Having the partition as an MBR and then installing a Windows image as GPT, is like going to replace your spare tire and finding out it has a different lug nut bolt pattern…

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!

Some information left out is the actual name/ model of laptop, hard drive, and whether or not it was visible in the BIOS. Some features may have a power saving mode or power plan, even software controls. Create a new power plan, go to high performance mode. Update drivers and BIOS.

I've had a lot of their laptops at my brother's insurance office. We've been lucky with them. OK, there is a "thing" about some models where you have to install a media/storage driver for some drives to show up. So far Linux shows such drives since that driver is baked into all the current distros I've used recently. I can't offer …

The previous unit was a Vivobook 15 X513EA-BH59-CB. The current one is a Vivoboox ASUS K350 2ZA BB51 CB. I'm assuming that the problem with the first unit was not a missing driver because both ASUS and Best Buy (Geek Squad) could not get it working.

https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1044458/ notes the Intel RST as well. As to BB/GS, I've found them hit or miss on this area. And on some models you "Disable Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) technology". I'm of the opinion that such steps should be automatic and built into "modern" Windows.
