Asus G53J is definitely a gaming laptop. From the way it looks and the amounts of memory it can tell right away this is a serious piece of equipment. Currently this present model held 6GB or RAM, but it does have like 5 slots all together with capacity to hold up to 20GB of RAM for maximum game performance!
The only and quite common problem with these is broken dc jack port where you plug the power adapter in on the side of the case. After we installed new dc jack into Asus G53J laptop, we realized why they break so easily. Only because of poor design nothing else. the way it is made unless you keep laptop carefully on the desk or table you will have to be very careful with that power adapter. When plugged in, it pretty much rests itself on the dc jack and any slight tampering with the power cable will put pressure on the inside of the jack, which will cause it to weaken every time you do it. So I highly recommend being careful with it as much as you can.
To take this laptop apart is also quite a challenge, at first. After doing it 2-3 times though it is pretty easy. I found some cool videos online to show how to take it apart and without them it would be quite a mystery.

The client who brought this HP 60 laptop stated that about 6 months ago dc jack was already replaced on this computer. But miraculously laptop was not powering up again and the cause of that was unknown.
We looked at this hp g60 from all sides tried many different things and the last option was to take it apart and see if jack is indeed damaged again.
After about 30 minutes into it, our technician saw there was a damage done to the bracket in which hp 60 dc jack sits. it was cracked and broken most likely from the hit to the socket. it’s possible that someone dropped it on the adapter or something similar. I don’t see how else you can brake that bracket inside the laptop.
And still upon inspection dc jack itself on this hp g60 laptop looked ok. sitting tightly in place and looked like it should have been working. But we still decided to replace it. and when new part came in. Laptop powered on and was running like never before!

This was a sort of simple job replacing dc jack on L355 Toshiba satellite laptop.
it has 1GB of RAM, AMD processor, 320GB of HDD space.
Obvious problem was due to a strong pull of plugged it power adapter cable, which forced dc jack to rip out of its bracket and dangle inside the computer.
New dc jack replacement arrived in 3 days. We opened up this laptop the same day when we received the part, replaced dc jack and put case back together.
Upon opening however it was clearly visible the dc jack was damaged. one plastic corner on the jack was split. And also the bracket where it sits on the side of the bottom case was also a bit broken.But luckily new DC jack fit in there tightly without any movement.
if same kind of pull would happen again, we will have to replace the whole bottom case for it. because the bracket inside will be completely shot.
Best advice is to always be careful not to trip over the power adapter cord or pull it accidentally or drop laptop on the plug or similar. this occurs quite often so be aware of it!
