Issues with the ROG Zephyrus G14
Issues with the ROG Zephyrus G14
I own a ROG Zephyrus G14 from 2021 with a 3060 GPU, Ryzen 9 5900 HS processor, 16 GB RAM at 3200 MHz, a 1 TB M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD. I've been using it for roughly a year now. Recently, when I powered it on, it took about five minutes to boot up the ROG logo, which has never happened before. During booting, the top keyboard light (battery indicator) stayed constantly red. I always keep the laptop plugged in and set the battery level to 70% via MyAsus, but this red light never appeared before. It also reset my monitor's refresh rate to 60 and didn't detect any connected cables, suggesting nothing was working properly. I handle my laptop carefully—never touch BIOS or internal components, and I haven't altered any important software.
I'm curious about potential issues with this setup. The rest of the details are about what I currently use with my laptop. On the left USB port, I'm using an Ethernet adapter to hardwire it because Wi-Fi connection was unstable. Through USB, I connect a 2 TB external drive. My HDMI display uses an Acer XF243Y monitor. Via USB, I also have a 10-port powered hub connected to several devices: a 192 audio interface with Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro, an Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI controller, a HK Gaming GK-61 keyboard, a Razer Viper 8KHz wired mouse, a Microsoft Desktop 900 wireless keyboard and mouse, an Elgato Stream Deck 2.0, and an adapter that converts USB to two HDMI ports for my second monitor.
