========================================
Soo i pluged my phone to charge(it had around 50% batery) was texting at the time and noticed the batery jumped from like 55% to 100 and completely died.Tried to turn it back on,the rog logo apeared and after that it died again.Since then i couldn't turn it back on.Dosen't apear to charge on any of the ports also tried fastboot it but nothing helped and the phone keeps getting hotter and hotter to the point i can't keep it in my hand for more then 10 secconds and from its side charger there is a faint smell burn.
The phone keeps getting hotter so i left it on the floor in my bathroom afraid it might blow up and burn up the house(no im not kidding its that hot).
Keep in mind i have phone for 5 days.I will get in contact with the place i bought it from in 2 days (unfortunantely tomorrow ill be at work the entire day)and hopefully ill manage to get a complete refund cuz i don't want to deal with this again and yes unfortunantely its the tencent version.

Oh, what is the sign of IC chip failure?

View post

doesn't turn on
smell burnt from the side charger (where the main power IC sits)
phone abnormally hot to the point where you cant hold it -> shorted
we know phones already died due to the power IC failure on the rog5, some topics here on zentalk and reddit.
"charged" battery up to instant 100% -> voltage spike caused by short
no charge on battery

But lets take your approach and disregard any type of common sense and logic and ask him to calibrate a battery on a phone that smells burnt, doesnt turn on, doesnt charge and is to hot to touch.

Anything below:
doesn't turn on (not been on charge for a long time)
phone abnormally hot to the point where you cant hold it -> shorted (bearing in mind he was using the phone then)
"charged" battery up to instant 100% -> voltage spike caused by short (where the phone think it has enough, but it was actually near to zero)
no charge on battery (same as point one)
I have faced - but phone is still working as normal. Charging instantly to 100% can also because of the battery stats out of whack. Battery calibration can help with this.
Leaving with only the burnt smell sympton - smell coming out from port can be caused by damaged cable/damage charging port. Therefore, that does not narrow down the IC chip.
The bottom line is the OP still needs to visit a service centre assume he is in China. If not which he isn't, then he has to go back to the reseller which is why Irene2_ASUS has recommended that option.
I will leave it here now.

1.) Literally died while charging and you claim it hasn't been charged for a long time? Are you completely mental or something?
2.) Oh yeah because it's very common that the phone gets so hot that you can't even hold it. Oh wait, it isn't.
3.) Oh yeah while charging, totally makes sense. So in your world charging the phone means draining the battery. Is your house working in reverse or something? Are you somehow denying physics at your home?
4.) Absolutely not the same as point 1.

How about you stop trolling?
Seriously I can't tell if you're drunk or flatout trolling at this point. You couldn't be bothered to read OP's post, then you proceed with even more nonsensical crap. Seriously, just admit you didnt bother to read OP and you clearly don't know what you're writing at this point.

You need to play it nice because you can cause this post to be locked up. I am very awake in what I post, but thanks for your concern.
A perfect experiment for you since you like experimenting and finding things out is to charge with an 18 watts charger and play Genshin Impact as an extreme - you tell me if the percentage goes up or goes down, because I certainly know what happens. Does that make sense to you now?
So back to my original question, how is you have narrowed it down to the IC chip that's the problem? I have just said I have faced the same issue on the first few points except for burning, but that alone still doesn't narrow down to the IC chip.

The fact you keep replying instead of admitting you didnt bother reading the post writing even more nonsense is beyond me.
Lets start with the obvious:
charging with 18Watts and playing genshin impact will still charge, the power consumption of the phone in genshin impact provided it doesnt throttle (which it does) is around 9-12watts depending on where you are in the game. Do the math. Unless you have slow charge on, which charges at 10watts, the phone will not discharge, goes to show you don't know what you're talking about.
Also to demonstrate your pathethic attempt to talk yourself out of it:
oo i pluged my phone to charge(it had around 50% batery) was texting at the time and noticed the batery jumped from like 55% to 100 and completely died.

I already made it very clear with my previous post how the IC chip is the culprit. The fact you try to talk by misleading despite being pointed towards multiple massive flaws in your logic is hilarious. You dodge whatever you can and try to somehow give what you write meaning despite you just failing more and more.
I suggest you just stop at this point as it's very clear you still haven't been bothered to read OP's text and seem incapable of admitting you just couldn't be bothered to read it in the first place. Not to mention you suggest to attempt to charge a shorted phone is one of the dumbest thing you can do in the first place.
So for the love of god, stop replying, you're not only making a massive fool out of yourself but you also just spam the forum with nonsense.
