ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601 repairs and upgrades
Touchscreen replacement
The 16-inch touchscreen is bonded to its glass, so cracked glass, dead touch and display faults are all fixed by replacing the bonded panel.
Price confirmed before work starts
Windows repair and reinstall
The ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601 shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
Battery replacement
The battery is internal and held by screws. We fit a new one, then calibrate and test it under load. On a 2022 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.
Price confirmed before work starts
Charging port and power repair
We replace worn charging sockets and repair USB-C ports and charging circuits at component level. The adapter is tested first, because it is the cheapest thing to be wrong.
SSD and storage upgrade
The ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601 takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
On most configurations of the ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601, part of the memory is soldered and there is one free slot, so it can be increased but not replaced entirely.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Known issues with the ROG Zephyrus and Flow range
- The graphics chip is soldered, so graphics faults are board-level repairs.
- Many ROG laptops from 2020 onward use liquid metal on the processor. A thermal service on these needs the right materials and barriers, or it does more harm than good.
- The Zephyrus G14 and G15 have one soldered memory module and one slot on most generations.
Data recovery from the ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601
The SSD in the ASUS ROG Flow X16 GV601 can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.
