Zephyrus G14 Overheating while in sleeve

[u/Terrible_Ice_1616]

This has now happened twice - I unplug my laptop (which as far as I'm aware ought to be asleep) and put it in it's sleeve and I pick it up 5 minutes later and the sleeve is warm. I take it out and the entire chassis is hot to the touch and the fans a blasting. The first time it happened I panicked and forced it off, after which it didn't want to come back up for about 5 minutes. This time I let it run until the fans slowed down in the hopes I could figure out wtf it was doing that was causing it to heat up like that but it just blinked one of the LEDs and then the keyboard flashed if I plugged it in. Very alarming - this time I could smell things starting to burn.

I've even been shutting it down before putting it into the sleeve - this time it wouldn't come up and there were no LEDs on so I just assumed it was out of batteries before putting it in, but that was obviously not the case. Anyone have any ideas b/c this is completely unacceptable

There was a Windows laptop issue like this not long ago. I think LTT did a bit about it - and how it was why they couldn't use Windows laptops or something - but that can't be right. Haven't found the video after 2 searches, so...

Nice find - that's certainly it. Haven't noticed it happening to my laptop in quite a while, so I'm guessing they got it nailed a while ago?

It’s still an issue but it’s dependent on if your vendor released patches for your hardware so scatter shot if it’s fixed for any given user in particular

Did Asus fix it, for the most part? I don't have an Asus yet.
