Its looking like a motherboard fault, but I can't tell what that is. Does anybody know what this light flash sequence indicates, please? If so, is there a way of resolving it that doesn't involve replacing the motherboard at astronomical cost?
Thanks!
Welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately, I'm located in the U.S. and not very familiar with the UX530UQ over here or the meaning of the flashing light sequence, but don't know that there is much more you can do on your end either way.
If you have not discussed with your local ASUS support office yet, consider checking with them too.
Just wondering when you purchased the notebook though and if you can just look into getting warranty service?
Between the motherboard and battery though, may be possible that the problem is just a bad battery rather than a bad motherboard although there may not be an easy way to determine this until you replace one or the other to find out which one fixes it.
If the system still doesn't work when the battery is disconnected though, maybe that points more to a motherboard issue.
