Known issues with the ZenBook range
- 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.
- OLED panels are replaced like-for-like; they are sensitive to pressure, so lid and hinge damage often takes the screen with it.
