Good morning. First of all excuse my low level of English.
My model is : GL502VS-FY043T (I7-6700HQ , GTX 1070, 8GB RAM, 525 SSD + 1TB HDD )
I just checked that my computer's battery is discharged even when connected, and that it has been an extended problem .
I always use the laptop plugged in, so this would not be a big problem either, if it was not because I'm experiencing notorious drops of fps in intensive games, and it seems that the graphics does not deliver more than 60% of its power.
I do not understand much about electric consumption, but if the battery that is provided is 180W and the graphics can consume about 150w + 40w of the processor,... how can supply power to the entire computer counting hard disks, ram, motherboard, etc.? I do not know if this happens to someone else or it may be due to another reason and I'm wrong, that's why I wanted to share it here.
How can we fix it?
Thanks a lot.
Offtopic: I am extremely disappointed with the model GL502VS, starting with the design (a screen covering the ventilation ducts, really?) Then the overheating (undervolt, bottom drill, re-paste, instability, loss of warranty, headache ) Now the battery ... What will be next? I understood that Asus was a prestigious brand, but with this laptop they have worn it..

I'm not even in guarantee period ... so what the **** can I do.
And that you have a 230w battery? Internal battery or an adapter, what model did you use? Then is no a viable way to did this crap laptop work as expected?
Luck with the procedures

PSU = Power Supply Unit, the battery itself can hardly handle power draw from CPU + GPU.
Well, if you ready to get your hands dirty:
- remove heatsinks and polish heatsinks
- replace thermal compound and thermal pads
- order new back cover from AliExpress and drill
Everything above is described in details in this page: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?89061-GL702VM-amp-similar-Solution-to-Performance-issues-O...
