ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 Repair
We repair the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 at our workshop in Bermondsey, from cracked screens and worn batteries to board faults and data recovery. It is a 16-inch gaming laptop from 2023. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 repairs and upgrades
Screen replacement
We replace the 16-inch panel with one that matches the original resolution and refresh rate. A cheaper 60Hz panel will physically fit many gaming laptops, and we do not fit one unless you ask for it.
Price confirmed before work starts
SSD and storage upgrade
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 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 Zephyrus M16 GU604, part of the memory is soldered and there is one free slot, so it can be increased but not replaced entirely.
Graphics repair
The graphics chip is soldered to the board. Artefacts, crashes under load and a black screen with the fans running are diagnosed to the chip, its memory or its power stage, and repaired at board level where it is economical.
Windows repair and reinstall
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
Battery replacement
We replace the internal battery and check the charging circuit and adapter at the same time.

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.
Overheating and fan repair
We strip the cooling system, clean the fans and heatsink fins and renew the thermal compound and pads. We check temperatures under load afterwards.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604, 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.
What we see on the bench
- 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 Zephyrus M16 GU604
The SSD in the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 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.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 be upgraded?
The SSD can be replaced with a larger M.2 drive. Part of the memory is soldered, with one slot free on most configurations.
My ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
Why does my ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 overheat or slow down in games?
Usually dust in the heatsinks and thermal compound that has dried out. A thermal service fixes it in most cases. If temperatures are normal and it still slows down, we test the graphics chip and power delivery.
How much does a ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU604 screen replacement cost?
Price confirmed before work starts. The exact figure depends on the part your machine needs, and we confirm it before any work starts.
