Am I screwed?

Hello guys,

I bought this gu604vi recently and when I was checking the internals I saw that the 8-pin battery connector has been ripped off

Is it really bad or is it fixable?

And thanks

2022 Zephyrus G16

Hey y’all,

I bought this gaming laptop in 2022, haven’t had much time for pc gaming, but I will say that the factory installed 512GB went very quickly. It’s not filled to the brim, but a second drive is necessary to hold larger games. I only have about 70gb left. I’ve been looking and found a 2TB sn850x for $300. I’ve been reading a bit and everywhere it says that I should install it with a thermal pad.

I’m not a computer tech, but generally trust what seems to be sound advice when I see it many times online.

Wondering if I bought too high-end, if I should return it and look for sn770 or sn7100. I see a lot of YouTube videos of folks using Samsung 990 pro.

Just wanted to get y’all’s thoughts on it- is it an easy install, is there anything you would recommend.

Tried putting thermal putty, think i put too much and now its stuck in between chips

Tried to put on PTM and add more putty, but I put to much and while trying to remove it, i got a bunch of putty stuck in between the VRAM chips. Should i try to remove it or am I good? Is this too much? First time applying putty lol

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to figure out a fair trad or cash value for my laptop before listing it or trading it for a MacBook.

Specs:
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024)
Intel Core Ultra 9 (i9-class)
RTX 4070 8GB
16GB RAM
1TB SSD
16” 2.5K OLED 240Hz
Comes with original box + charger

Condition:
Fully functional, no performance issues
Small cosmetic dent on front shell (purely cosmetic)
Well maintained, clean overall

I’m mainly looking to trade into a MacBook Pro (24GB RAM configs like M4/M5 Pro), but I’m unsure what a fair trade value is for my current laptop.
What would you value this at in today’s market?
And what would a fair MacBook trade equivalent be?
Appreciate any input.

For context I don't really use this laptop anymore, used to game on it but now I've moved over to mainly playing switch games. I have an M1 2020 right now, but looking to upgrade it since recently its battery is starting to deteriorate.
