Battery swell (thin chassis)

Numpad-in-trackpad (Duo, UX-series)
NumberPad 2.0 feature — virtual numpad in the trackpad. Trackpad replacement preserves feature; if separately affected, software fix.

ASUS Zenbook Repair — your questions answered
How much does an ASUS Zenbook OLED screen replacement cost in Australia?
Panel replacement for Zenbook S 13 or Duo models ranges from $900 to $1,400 fitted. We source genuine-spec OLED assemblies and include colour calibration. Turnaround is typically three to five business days once parts arrive.
Can you fix a swollen battery in my thin Zenbook without replacing the whole laptop?
Yes. Swollen cells are removed and replaced with a new 70-80 Wh pack matched to your chassis. The job costs $420-$580 and includes BMS recalibration. We do not attempt re-celling swollen packs for safety reasons.
My Zenbook Duo secondary screen is black — is it the cable or the panel?
We first test the eDP cable and controller board. If the signal path is intact we replace only the secondary 14-inch OLED; otherwise the cable or controller may be repairable first. Service cost sits between $480 and $880 depending on the root cause.
How long does a USB-C port repair take on an ASUS Zenbook?
Port flex replacement on the daughterboard takes two to three business days. We desolder the damaged receptacle, fit a new one with fresh solder and strain relief, then verify full Thunderbolt and PD function before return.
Do you offer onsite service for Zenbook hinge or battery work in Australian capital cities?
Onsite visits are available for hinge re-tension and battery swaps in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. More complex board-level or OLED work is completed in our workshop with a 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
