A15 fell and messed up the inside, still works.
Hey everyone, I had a pretty bad accident today where my ASUS TUF Gaming F17 took a fall. Surprisingly, it still boots and runs, but I've got some serious issues I need help diagnosing:
When I opened it up, the motherboard and internals looks and felt like theyre floating or loose inside the chassis.
As soon as I turn it on, the fans become incredibly loud, way louder than normal idle. I’m worried the fans are hitting something.
The laptop now only works when plugged into the wall. Even though the battery is physically connected, it shuts off the second I pull the plug.
Whenever I try to connect to the internet, it doesn't work. Just a moment ago, it could detect other networks, but cant connect now it just doesn't connect at all.
Also, I can't send it to a repair shop because fixing gaming laptops in my country is expensive af it's like half a months worth of salary, lol. Hopefully, I can get some solid tips ☺️
