ASUS Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

2003 relic, seen in garagesales for $1 and useless as UGO car. have your tech do that, and not blow up parts doing worn things./ smacks of bad PSU, going over voltage. or below, SSDD. The CMOS coin cell is NO GOOD, replace it first, or BIOS goes MAD. !!! the jumpers on MoBo must be set first. (next) all of them. per manual. the manual is fee and easy to find googling. cpu put in backwards or bent pins cpu has gold corner pin 1 mark. not using both PSU cables to MOBO 4pin and 24pin the CPU has a fan , it can never be allowed to be missing or dead. the free manual did you read it first. and ask a tech how to set it up, and how not to hot swap parts. nor send 230vac (no country told) to the PSU set to 115vac slider set wrong and blow it all to H3LL? this trash mobo has VIA chip set that nobody on earth supports now. XP era yes, now , NO ! using the wrong voltage AGP card blows them both up as the manual warned you, did you read that" first. best is AVOID AGP cards totally as 1/2 are not going to work ever. worse no sata ports and no IDE ports. other guy blew the card, in 2004 and sat forever dead. RIP if mobo as vga jack rear of mobo (some dont) use that first test with no cards in the MOBO at all. the via chip set works in BIOS but will fail in all modern OS tried. XP yes. and quote This motherboard supports Windows 98 to XP redHat, SuSE, TurboLinux and Caldera operating systems (OS). blowing it up is ok it has zero value good or bad. so is a wash.

you mean black screen dead screen, 100% dead. no Asus splash. the big battery is EOL DOA dead. we replace them but first run the PC on AC powerpack first , no huge battery there. work now? sure. if not do the long power reset, push power button for 10 full seconds an release. 2009 PC birth day the coin is 8 years old , EOL spec on coin is 5-7 year. so we test it below 2.9vdc bad or replace it , if bad it can not be ignored. no charger on earth can charge a bad battery , weak only not bad. and is the first to fail , batteries all, then hdd 2nd that is how it works, transistors can go 100 years, or more. caps less. , 20 years is part but not batteries, ask Elon Musk this, he knows . or read at battery university dot com.

card good Nvidia but useless for any AAA grade gaming 3D not told what is your big TIME 3D app that needs fast card? there are like 10,000 card made now, speed is what you pay for;. see em here. I have 2 in my PC test kit, and runs in any PC DT made. not 2022 UEFI class3 only PCs. just older. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=nvidia+8400&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=gforce+card&_osacat=0&_sop=15&LH_PrefLoc=2

leave the chip alone. the a8n is old, not new it is 2005 mobo, 12 years old you buy it. as new and seller lied to you as most do now. fleabay. the coin cell is bad. on mobo bios is NOT bad but I bet now you wrecked the BIOS. not told at all if using PATA IDE drivers 20 years old or modern SATA drives 2001 and newer. nor if you ran SATA hdd smart test first, if fails no oS on earth can run on any bad HDD, of any kind. leave bios alone (means do not flash or replace the chip) there are 10versions of the A8N mobo if the wrong flash BIOS is used you bricked it and I bet you did. next time learn to ask , how to test a hDD first for sure relics LIKE THIS.

on what , not told WHAT, its computer related but WHAT fails?

asus.com from 1995 to now, we love them. they are PRIME GRADE OEm as is DELL.

2007 monitor not dead, a rare thing , that. well RTM the manual shows how to change input ports from DVI to VGA, most LCD the OSD menu button does that the manual is free to read, like this asus.com, i click search for.: VW222U https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LCD%20Monitors/User%20Guide/e3157_vw202-222.pdf page 15 said When both the VGA and the DVI cables are connected, you can choose either VGA mode or DVI mode from the Input Select item of the OSD functions. and Page 19 clear as day?

ask ASUS that. only they know their sticker codes.

lost the login PW then reset it ,using button marked the same on router. held for 10 seconds and released the login admin name and pw are reset to new factory state. asus.com RTM read the manual there.

you failed to say: 1: lost Wifi PW 2: or lost router login screen configs, PW. there are just answers, do #2 first and set the wifi like you want on any router. you own. or if #2 fails and you are locked out then push the routers reset button in for 15 seconds and release it some need 30 seconds the manual covers that if you read it. here page 55 actual ,10seconds. https://www.asus.com/supportonly/wl-600g/HelpDesk_Manual/

asus.com 1995 to now still there, ask them or on their contact page do as they tell you. same answer for any OEM device, PC or router ask the oEM for help. the manual is there too.

old P5 mobo G41, Asus has super good support as does Gigabyte so the GTS fails in BIOS too? what happens not told at all. BIOS screens are first. and set BIOS to PCI GPU mode. do not use UEFI at all. or TPM ever. not overclocking , RIGHT? the card uses chip 450 made in , September 13, 2010 so is 12 years old. and will work on any old PC, before year 2012 fails on class 3,UEFI new PCs sure. but yours is not the GPU uses 106watts of power and the rear power jack called +12vPCI , is not connected to the PSU the card WILL FAIL for the lack of AUX power to that jack on rear of card GPU. 6Pin or 8. 2010 gpu in 2008 mobo is not ever hard to do ,but not resetting bios page 1. is never good , doing all this , reset bios defaults, nor hot swapping the card with AC power connected to the wall. the old P5 is only one, X16 slot so no errors there. possible 1 slot. . so you flashed the GTS to ***** why in the world flash any gpu card.? (panic?)_ looking to brick it? wow flashed the mobo and gpu card, now that is brave. why think flashing is the holy grail of PC service, it is not it is basics, most errors like this are basics.(wrong) power is first not last , 106 watts is 31 watts too much for any PCI-e slot and some PC the silly slot is under rated... making AUX 2 times more important. Corsair CX450 not 450m modular? the 450 has those old lame now 4pin molex PATA drive power cables for year 2001 PC, why us this dog.? and not modern PSU. yes the cx has PCI-Express Connector 1 x 6+2-Pin and EVGA has like 25 models of 400watt PSU. so can not read your manual on it to see if it has this key cable PCI-Express Connector 1 x 6+2-Pin see left jack 8 and 6 , the GPU needs 1 or the other OR WILL FAIL. power is first, no flashing any bios. I call them GPU AUX power, and are not optional ever if seen on the card. other cause of failure for sure bios menus dead in mobo are they? 1: that 12 year old mobo coin cell is NO GOOD that be first./first 1b:above power cable not connected. to GPU. 2: turn off all UEFI features in MOBO this card is not UEFI certified. 3: reset mobo bios in bois page one. 4: never turn on TPM in bios. 5: do not use bios secure boot. 6: set time and date in bios 7: never hot swap any parts inside this PC, (ac cord pulled from wall first) 8: flashed it and bricked like millions did this year, why?

if no service manual can be found try googling or even try youtube, vast PCs are dismantled there. learn to look there first first hit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr7qHPtWPw0 the PC must be totally dismantled. (as in worst kind)

"Some" of the 2013 Models will, Most tablets will not...You can buy an Insert that has a Magnetic tip on the end, The cord has another magnetic tip. Simple stick together. It all depends on the type of charger Male end that goes into that paticular Model....

asus laptop>? what model>how old is it, if bought new.?10 years , 20?I ask that for 2 reasons, but one is parts can be sourced to fix it.if not too oldand tell me how good the USB really are.and yes I have seen and fixed all kinds of bad USB ports even broken.

any manual will be at SONY, this mobo is a contract made. Asus, to sony, and made to SONY SPEC. one poster said from my SONY vaio pcv-rs346. (and is) no service manuals sorry or gee ask SONY. what you do is plug in the front panel connector. it is keyed but you lost the front panel assembly didn't you.? why play P4 relics, 99% are in the landfill. it is possible that asus used there standard(internal) wiring here and only changed like 3 times in 20 years. 2003 made PC, it is, a true fossil. or ask the bad boy that sold it to you. did you also lose the sony VAIO PC casing? sorry i can't see it to know know what's UP DOC. here it is sold just like this, rs346 the panel has 6 , cables and are not documented they simply plug in. (lost this did you? ) use the word lost or? this is the real part, had to search very old sales transactions. but there it is in all its relic glory. worth exactly zero.$
