I have recently installed Ubuntu on my Asus UX301LA which has raided SSDs and is in UEFI. Install is fine and everything works, however sometimes when I boot my fan maxes out and my battery status indicator on the power cord flashes. I’m not really sure how to troubleshoot as I’m fairly new.
If I were to boot into windows with the LED blinking it would say plugged in but not charging.
This laptop is brand new just received it about 3 days ago and hasn’t always had these symptoms. The symptoms started after booting to linux. Also the fan doesn’t max out every time. I know the laptop isn’t hot since it’s just booting so there is no need for the fan.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Answer
I have the same laptop and the same issue.
I successfully avoid the issue by not shutting it down, ever. I just suspend it and occasionally reboot it, and it works like a charm.
Here is a link with some other suggestions.
I reported this issue to the asus support and I got a really helpful “contact your nearest supplier and replace it”.
