Solve : Windows 8.1 Asus laptop "cooked"? Won't stay on more than ~10 seconds?

Answer»

Hello, windows 8.1 64bit ASUS laptop here(here is the ENTIRE laptop https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834232574). A few days ago I was gaming and suddenly my laptop stopped charging. I sat up a bit to look at the cord and smelled ozone, unplugged charger and replugged and laptop started charging again. I was still worried so I unplugged everything and went to bed. The next day, tried to switch on my laptop and it only remains on for 10 seconds tops. Did a quick search and most suggested it was the adapter that cooked, so I just brought home a new one but the problem persists. Is the problem the battery? It is irremovable on this model, should I go in and unscrew? I did unscrew and take a look but nothing looks really out of the ordinary, but I'm no expert.



The battery light still switches on (but never changes to the fully charged green/white no matter how long I leave it plugged in), at one POINT after using the new A/C adapter I was able to keep it on the bluescreen repair menu for a couple of minutes, but after I restarted it the problem persisted once more. At this time I had tried to chkdsk but got NTFS error. I don't know how to check the status of the battery driver as, again, I cannot launch the laptop.

Any tips? I'm really just tired of this laptop anyway and am planning to upgrade to a desktop shortly, but I would like it to be at least working so I can back things up, etc.Hi

You ask is the problem the battery most probable it is the battery. There is another problem with data missing off the SSD drive. You would be best to leave the SSD until you can replace the laptop then look at getting the data off the old ssd drive.
You could TRY disconnecting the battery perhaps remove the battery and see if it swelled anywhere or smells like it has been hot.
then as you have the laptop with the SSD removed try powering it up without the battery if it powers up check for ANYTHING getting hot if both fans are running you have a display and everything runs cool then you could power down and try the hard drive booting. I suspect that with the sudden power down the SSD lost a chunk of data.
