I have a ROG FLOW X13 GV301QH MB._16G/R7-5800HS, been using it for 2 years on a daily basis.
Yesterday i plugged it after the battery was fully drained and it didn’t get charged before that it was working completely fine. Then today i took it to service centre and they handed over a repair cost of ₹70000(840$).The laptop itself costs around ₹100000(1200$). A local shop told me that the power supply is short and there would be a repair cost of ₹25000(300$)
I am in Delhi, India. If someone knows a better solution please help.
And also if someone can help me get my data from the ssd. I don’t t know the model.

I think you should check with other repair shops, this guy is telling absurd prices.
If the power supply (charger) is short, then just replace the charger, unless its the charging circuit itself that is shorted.
please contact with other repair centers .
It sounds like they want to scam you
You need to go to a reputed local repair shop, I know a few from Mumbai but Delhi will have to lookup. Something like this ideally shouldn’t cost you more than 5k in my experience.To get your data from the SSD, the part in middle of your battery and right fan, it looks like a network card but it’s just a small M.E 2230 size SSD. Take it out of there and put it in a NVMe SSD case or another laptop’s/Computer’s PCIe slot and you should be able to access the data.
it would be a great help if you can tell me the shop name but nonetheless thanks for the data transfer tip 🛐
This guy looks reliable from what I can see in the video but DYOR. His address and everything is in the description.
Red motherboard, would you look at that
Easiest way to know problem. If laptop has a light for battery, connect the charger and see if light turns on. If it flashes orange then indication means problem is the battery itself not the charger.
Some repair shops blame it is charger or a component on the motherboard and charges high price to scam. But real cause is just the battery itself that needs to be replaced and nothing else.
This is why going to a 3rd party repair place can be sketchy some times, some are unskilled have no idea what they are doing. While others knows what they are doing and do not scam customers.
