Restore Power, Input & Charging with a Genuine Asus Controller Board

Fix Unresponsive Touchpad, Keyboard, and Power-On Failures

The Asus controller board (also called logic controller or embedded controller) plays a crucial role in your laptop's function. It manages everything from power distribution and battery charging to touchpad, keyboard, fan, and LED controls. When this board fails, symptoms can range from total power loss to erratic input and non-functioning ports.
Whether your power button won’t respond, the keyboard backlight is dead, or your USB ports suddenly stop working, replacing the controller board often restores your laptop without the high cost of a motherboard swap.
