What we repair on the ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501
Screen replacement
Cracked, flickering or lined 15.6-inch screens are replaced with a matching panel. Where the picture comes and goes as the lid moves, we check the display cable and hinges first.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory
Memory in the ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501 is soldered and cannot be upgraded. It is worth knowing this before paying anyone for a memory upgrade.
Windows repair and reinstall
This model does not meet Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements, and Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025. We can advise on the realistic options, including a lightweight Linux or ChromeOS Flex installation.
Battery replacement
A new internal battery is fitted and tested through a full charge and discharge. At this age, short runtime and sudden shutdowns usually point to a worn battery and not a board fault.

Charging port and power repair
The round charging socket wears and works loose. On most configurations it is a separate part on a short cable and is replaced without motherboard work.
SSD and storage upgrade
The ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501 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

Known issues with the ZenBook range
- OLED panels are replaced like-for-like; they are sensitive to pressure, so lid and hinge damage often takes the screen with it.
- USB-C charging faults are a common board repair on recent generations.
- ZenBook memory is soldered on most models, and the keyboard is part of the top case.
