ASUS ROG Strix G713 -Two shops tried to fix it, they couldn't, can i? Take this video as motivation

[@lis6502]

no problem for long video, personally i prefer this format, it's more educational i guess

[@mayayapm4648]

Even though the problem is caused by the bios, thank you for showing where this error can occur, which points should be checked, what can be done in such an error and what should be tried and checked. You are one of the rare people who make such videos on the internet and really teach this job. Most people usually do it quickly and do not explain anything. They just send the videos in short. Here, we see the error, follow it and fix it together. Thank you for everything, master Sorin.

[@JustInspiredKent]

I agree. At least now I won't get caught out trying to flash the wrong BIOS chip lol.

[@TriodeTetrode]

Did you go with liquid metal or thermal paste? ;)

[@nathangarden]

@@TriodeTetrode went with liquid metal, sad thing was I'd cleaned it the day before I'd sent it and put the new paste on, so I'd "wasted" a tenner on the oaste then to go back, but in the long run, it's as specced, so I'm happy with the result overall.

[@intelpeople]

What happend when Sorin Sir Asked for upto 2 hours Repair Cost?

[@nathangarden]

@@intelpeoplehe'd only told me he'd spent a long time fixing it, I didn't know how long he'd spent on it until I saw the video. But it was less than a new motherboard and more than a 2 tb ssd. I was prepared for it to potentially be an expensive fix, but it in my mind was worth it.

The reason for different resistance on vram is because its AMD gpu, not nvidia. You were measuring mem and vddci which is slightly lower.

Hi Sorin: Had this exact same problem with my Gigabyte A5 X1 gaming Laptop. Same AMD Cpu 5900Hx with Nvidia 3070 video card. At 6 months old, the Internal video amd drivers where updating and after reboot corrupted the system bios. Laptop had blank screen during bootup and would do nothing else. Gigabyte ended up replacing with an older bios then what the computer came with.

[@akariakaza1646]

even though it corrupts at 25:00 , the issue still remains. theres no booting sounds that time indicates theres still error in the bios.

Nice one Sorin. Not sure I would have had the patience myself. It's hard and time consuming when you don't know if you have a good working BIOS file to use. It's a case of trying different ones and hoping for the best.

[@g4z-kb7ct]

In any business doing repairs, there is always going to be a cost involved and for an expensive laptop like this one the customer knows it won't be cheap, regardless. If the customer won't accept the repair price then the item is not given back to customer. That's how it works and that's the only way it works. If the customer is a good guy he will be very happy no matter what the repair price is. If the customer is not a good guy then you now have a nice laptop for your own use, or sell it to recover costs. Customer pays regardless or you keep it. That's the normal practice in any business.

[@Misimpa]

Kekw, just load the backup bios and good luck with fixing it in other places. Before make video that it is working fine 😊

[@nathangarden]

I was very happy with the price I paid for the repair, true he didn't give a quote, but I was willing to pay a good amount considering I didn't want the thing to turn into a brick after only 2 years use. Sorin was my last hope, before considering buying a replacement motherboard, which wohld have been around £500. So was money well spent, and was such a quick turnaround. Posted on Tuesday, got it back Friday. 10/10

[@TriodeTetrode]

I don't know the exact laws of UK, but I think you can get into trouble with this practise. Customer could sue you. Are you sure law will allow you hold laptop without giving price first? It's definitely NOT right way to do the things. Sorin way is much better. You tell customer beforehand what the cost will be or at least approximate costs.
