ASUS Vivobook 15 Pro KC3500 Motherboard Issues - Anyone Experienced This?

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing some frustrating issues with my ASUS Vivobook 15 Pro K3500PC and I’m wondering if anyone else has come across similar problems.

A few days ago, my laptop was working fine, but after a 30-minute trip home, it wouldn’t turn on. I tried charging it, but the LED indicator didn’t light up. After some research, I found a suggestion to hold the power button for about 40 seconds to turn it on. Surprisingly, it worked!

However, when I tried to adjust the brightness, the indicator showed it was increasing, but the screen brightness remained the same. I seemed to stay at the lowest level. At least it was working, but a few hours later, I went to get some coffee, and when I came back, it was off again with no charging indicator.

To add to the frustration, my warranty expired a few months ago. I took it to the repair shop I usually go to, and they informed me that there’s an issue with the motherboard.

Has anyone else experienced these power and brightness issues with their ASUS Vivobook 15 Pro K3500PC? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
