Avoid Your Charger Overheating
An Asus charger (whether it is an Asus Vivobook charger, ZenBook, TUF Gaming, or ROG) can get warm during use: this is a normal phenomenon when the Asus laptop charger is delivering power to your device.
Like any Asus laptop charger, it can reach a certain temperature, usually controlled by an internal safety feature that cuts power above approximately 45°C.
When Does Asus Charger Overheating Become Abnormal?
An Asus laptop charger becomes problematic if:
- it becomes impossible to hold
- it emits a burning smell
- it overheats excessively even without heavy use
In this case, it could be a defective or damaged Asus charger.
Immediate action: unplug your Asus charger to avoid any risk (short circuit, fire).
How to Identify the Source of the Problem?
To determine whether the problem comes from the Asus laptop charger or your computer:
Test with Another Compatible Asus Charger
- Use an Asus charger with the same voltage and power (e.g., Asus charger 45W, 65W, 120W…)
- Test it on your PC
Result:
- ✅ The new charger does not heat up → your old original Asus charger is defective
- ❌ The new charger also heats up → the problem likely comes from your computer (settings or battery)
Possible Causes of Overheating
Overheating of an Asus laptop charger can be related to:
- a worn or damaged Asus charger
- an incompatible or incorrect charger
- poor ventilation (charger placed on a bed or fabric)
- intensive use (gaming, heavy software – common with TUF Gaming or ROG)
Sparks: Should You Be Worried?
✔️ Sparks When Plugging In: Normal in Some Cases
When plugging in an Asus charger, small sparks may appear:
- closing of the electrical circuit
- a normal phenomenon if occasional
- more frequent with a worn Asus laptop charger
In this case, you can continue using your charger.
❌ Continuous Sparks: Danger
If the sparks:
- persist after plugging in
- are significant
- are accompanied by noise or odor
Stop using your Asus charger immediately.
What to Do If Your Asus Charger Is Defective?
If your Asus Vivobook, ZenBook, TUF Gaming, or ROG charger is at fault:
- use the warranty if available
- replace it with an original compatible Asus charger
Avoid low-quality or uncertified chargers at all costs.
