The power IC controls the voltage distribution to major components like CPU, RAM, SSD, and I/O chips. When it fails, the laptop may not charge, power on, or may shut down immediately after plugging in.
ASUS TUF Gaming A15 models can experience burnt power ICs, shorted MOSFETs, or damaged capacitors due to high-wattage adapters or power surges.
Technicians diagnose the fault by checking VCORE, VIN, and related voltage rails using schematic diagrams. Faulty ICs are then removed with hot-air rework stations and replaced with exact model chips (e.g., RTxxxx, ISLxxxx series).
The repair is done precisely without replacing the motherboard, preserving other components and avoiding data loss or additional cost.
The service includes a 1–3 month warranty and post-repair testing in case of recurring power failure, overheating, or auto shut-off.
