Thank you so much! I just completely disassembled mine to clean it, changed the thermal paste, added ram and replaced the ssd for a ssd with more capacity.
When I assembled it back it wouldn’t turn on, so I removed the ram and put it back in and it solved this issue. I am very happy, it is like a new computer and the temperature is now around 47 degrees Celsius on desktop.
Thank you, after ten years I finally open it for the first time (thinking it will be more tricky) to clean and replace thermal compound.
Really clear instruction.
Just did this and all went well! Thank you so much for the very detailed instructions. It helped a great deal and saved me a lot of money. I replaced the thermal paste and it's a lot cooler now. Put everything back together and it booted like nothing ever happened.
Thank you again!
Glad I can help. Next time you will do it without watching the video.
Thanks for the help! Replaced thermal paste and cleaned my fan, and booted up like normal and does not crash in stress test. Everything seems to work normal, but still a bit nervous if it will remain so...
It will dont worry.. Just clean it every 2 years
Thanks for the video my laptop can survive 5 more years
:)
Thank you so much, the video was very useful. However, for a simple clean is enough to stop at 6:08 . The unscrewed fan comes out nicely. Not necessary to detach all the wires.
The cpu cooler is in the other side of the board. The good thermal paste have about 2 years of "live" after that it looses the ability to transfer heat from the cpu to the pipe, and start to harden. If you just clean the fan is about 60% job done. ;) it is a good think to change the thermal paste on both cpu and gpu.
Thank you so so much. I rarely comment but here i am writing to you.
Long story short.. my laptop runs csgo on low and still lags..
So i concluded after investigation it is due to thermals. Was scared and shocked when my friend said this ROG model is hard to disassemble, i listened and dared not touch it.
It gotten so bad i raged now im here trying to fix it myself. NOW thanks to you sir.. you saved my wallet, my day and my happiness. Runs butter smooth~
Well these videos are all about that, to help people. I'm glad that you sort your problem. Regards.
Hi Joe, i hv just the same problem with you and a csgo player too. May i ask you after you did the cleaning, how much better is it? Can you run csgo with high settings? Thanks bruh. Thanks to the video creator too, i haven't try it but might try it someday.
@@evanvincentkarta9938 Hi, it feels like how it used to be and how it should be, 100fps+ at ultra settings. Even all my games like R6, buttery smooth. And this may seem like a buffoon to clean your pc and get more "fps" but yes it miraculously does :) I ain't a pc expert but if you're experiencing illogically low fps compared to your benchmarked fps, cleaning your pc is the solution.
Cleaning and changing the thermal paste. Becouse sometimes people think that only cleaning the dust will do the job.
@@jo3106 Thanks bruh, imma try it right now 😂👍
Thank you for this video. I managed to disassemble and reassemble my old laptop and not destroy anything 😅
Thanks for the video. I disassembled all just to find out the cooler wasn't that dirty, just a tiny thin layer of dust (2.5 years old laptop) . I brushed it clean, assembled it all back, and I am happy to check the laptop works! I was afraid I would miss something.
It was a good idea to change the thermal paste. After more than 2 years it gets dry and loose its ability to transfer heat for the CPU to the cooler.
I didn't change it, I didn't know I am supposed to. Is it that thing on top of the cpu? (revealed at 9:38) Is it really that important to change it?
@@Privateer1981 Well the thermal paste is doing most of the work... it Absorb the heat from the CPU and give it to the cooler. If you gonna change it buy arctic MX-2 or MX-4. Don't buy cheap one. Clean the cooler and the CPU with ISO alcohol or similar and apply thin layer of paste. Than reassemble.
I opened my friend's GL552JX a month a go, and the fact that being a "gaming" laptop it doesn't even have a proper air in-take vent. That fan is blowing almost nothing cool outside, and the temps will hit 80C- ish while other laps hover at 65-70C (mine is a lenovo y50-70, he's old but still pumping)
Difficulty is easy to medium, compared to others, even if you have to disassemble completely to get to the cooling system. Did mine at work in about 20 min. New thermal paste, CPU at 75 max instead of 100+.
This is very nicely done. I tried this yesterday but I could only open one (!) of the 8 screws of the heatsink. The rest just broke and got stripped.. a sad experience indeed, but at least I got some dust out.
Scary video, thanks! I will NOT be disassembling and trying to clean mine! Better to pay someone who does it regularly!
It is goot to be cleaned every 2 years.
same man .. i was free today and just wanted to do that ....that shit is scary 😂
Best breakdown video yet
I doubt, but thank you.
@@LaptopDisassembly Im very familiar with computers. I took mine apart and cleaned it, took the ram out of the bottom slot, put back in and it wont boot in that slot now? Any reason you could think of why? And another problem is the screen isn't turning on anymore. I didnt even unplug the lcd plug? but when i put the ram in the top slot (furthest away from board) it boots but screen still doesn't work. I hooked up a monitor to test it because the backlight keyboard was working and it worked. Then I shut down and tried to hook it back up to the original ram slot and it wont work, comes on but doesn't show display. Help me @yanko Goshev
been looking for this. Thank you so much
thanks for the video! i just picked mine up second hand and im going to be replacing the keyboard so why not just take it all apart and clean it im already half way there when i remove the keyboard!
Very good idea.
could be all that or this computer companies need to start making their fan ports easy to open, its a thing that keeps getting blown out or get dusty and ruin the computer all the way and to fix it is to go through all this technical stuff
The computer companies dont like users to fix their own stuff.. Is not profitable..
thank you bro, u really help me out
Thank you, really hellful.
Helpfull😂
Dennis Budiman helpful!! Sorry!!!
Genius!
Your explication is exemplary.
Guess what ... (subscribed)
Hy, nice video. Thank you.
I want to know something at the bottom near the cable from the touchpad. something small attached to the mobo. what's this for. mine broke from its place.
Can you show me what is broken so i can tell you.
I know this video is quite old but do you still remember approximately how thick the thermal pad is? i want to replace the thermal pads.
I think around 1mm. No problem to put 1.2 or 1.5mm. They are flexible, so when you tide the screws they will fit properly.
Hello, i’ve never cleaned a laptop out before and am wondering if i need to replace the tape or if it’s even necessary

You can use any Electrical tape or you can use a double side type to put back the old one.

How do i detach the fan completely from the heatsink? The fan is attached with like a black tape at both sides. Can I just tear the tape?
yes, just cut the type between the fan and the copper cooler.
Scary. I need someone to do this
Thanks a lot, it was great.
that
fan stopped working for me a few days back, It's been the same position for years so I'm just going to see if cleaning the fan helps.
Yes, sometimes the dust is blocking the fan and it cannot rotate properly.
Yanko Goshev the fan was the culprit, but cleaning the dust out didnt work. The fan wont spin freely, im playing around with the axis, but i may just have to replace the fan itself
Any suggestions on what i could do?
If the fan can be pulled out from the bearing.. Use ipa alcohol go clean inside and use some grease. Don't pull to hard becouse some fans cannot be opened. If you cannot just inject IPA alcohol with Syringe in the middle. Repeat few times till the fan start to spin free... IPA cannot harm the fan.
Do you know the thickness of the thermal pads under the copper bar? I have to renew them. My laptop is GL552VW but the structure is the same as GL552JX.
I usually like to use the original ones, if they are in good shape. If nor i replace them with similar size. You can do the following to see the correct thickness. Use a think paper or fold a thinner one. Put it on the chips and tide the screws. If you can move the paper than you need to add a layer. When you find the needed thickness, just compare with the pads. Usually they are 1.0 or 1.5mm Also you can check in the Asus forums.. probably someone will know. But there is nothing better than the original ones.
@@LaptopDisassembly Thank you for your help :) well it has been 5 years since I bought my laptop. I guess orijinals ain't usefull anymore :D my cpu and gpu temps are always too high. Do you have any reccomendation for thermal paste and pad brand?
@@Val-rl8gz If the pad are not broken, i advice you to replace only the thermal paste. They use the same heat pipe, so when one is more hot, the other is working on high temperatures also. For costumers laptop i always use Arctic MX-2 or MX-4.
My 950m gpu inside this laptop goes to 92° and throttles like crazy... Can't wait to dismantle the damn thing for cleaning and replacing the thermal paste.
Use a good thermal paste like Arctic MX-2 or MX-4
Hi, wondering if you still remember how to disassemble this model.
When I disassembled my laptop, and turned the power on with everything still disassembled (I managed to connect the keyboard part to press the power button) to access the BIOS startup menu, I realized my fan stopped running. I bought a new fan and replaced it but it still didn't run when I turned on the power. Do you think the motherboard power supply for the fan is dead? If so, it cannot be fixed anymore right?
Probably the fan is ok.. It spins for second and it stops.. Try to leave it to work a while in Bios. The fan will start to spin when the temperature is rising. It is not spinning all the time.. Test in bios for 5min. To see
Yanko Goshev thanks a lot. Yes I left it in BIOS for some minutes and it spinned again.
How do you returned the keyboard? You just put back directly or do you need something to stick it back? Im gonna replace my keyboard and curious before making the replacement. Thanks.
Well if that is your first replacement is a little scary. The keyboard is bonded to the upper case with plastic and screws. When i replace that type of keyboard i use a soldering iron to melt the plastic little bit so it can hold the new keyboard.
@@LaptopDisassembly oh.. thats really scary. Good thing I still did not buy the new keyboard with the frame included. 😑
@@LaptopDisassembly can I ask also for advice? Recently idle temps are high like 49~52 after it fall down. Do I have to tear it down and repaste the cpu? Or what other causes it might be?
You can try, but i think it can be demaged cooler. Try repaste first and see will there be a difference
@@LaptopDisassembly ok thank you sir. 👍
I wanna try and open mine up but damn that a lot of screw, so easy for them to go missing. ah too nervous to do it. How did you start getting into opening laptop?
U Wot M8 well I start about 15 year's ago. At first for fun and hobby, but the last 10 years it is a job. :) About the screws, don't worry. Just separate the ones from the back cover, the ones on the board and everything will be fine. Just follow the video.
It is not that bad. I've just cleaned mine. At first I was a little bit scary but after some time :D
Its there anyway to reset the CMOS battery by any software?
And loved your video, it was detailed and neat.
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
No software way, only remove the battery and wait for about half an hour or just short the battery pin connector
@@LaptopDisassembly ty very much.
@@LaptopDisassembly Where is the CMOS battery?
What are the normal temperatures for the CPU cores when they are in idle mode? And what are the maximum normal levels for intense mode? What about GPU?
Well depend... The CPU should be around. 40-50 in idle and 70-80 under load. About the GPU ..+10 I guess... All depend on surrounding temperature..
@@LaptopDisassembly Thanx
Thanks i repasted my laptop and its cooler
Hi, I have a problem about opening up that 2 screws where you said it is broken, how do I fix this?
you can try this method. ua-cam.com/video/atRghCYKPSo/v-deo.html
Hi, can we use any type of cmos battery to replace the old one? Need to diy or find the one that compatible with gl552jx?
i think it should be CR2032
Is there a way to open and clean the fan without having to remove the keyboard?
no
thank you so much sir
Thank you so much for this
Hello mr yanko, i buy my asus rog laptop 3 years ago and my laptop started not using my nvidia gpu to run a game instead its using my intel hd graphic, so i test it with gpu test, turn out its using nvidia gpu but when i run the test the gpu clock speed start to slowing down, from 950mhz to 405mhz, but when im not using the gpu to the test, the clock speed raised to 950mhz again(i believe because i turning the gpu to the maximum performance setting and power management too). And the fan just spinning like crazy when im running the test. I try reinstall the windows and completely format the hardisk but its not working
my question is, why the gpu clock not staying in 950mhz?
Is it possible my gpu is broken?
Or i just need to change thermal paste?
Thank you, your video is very informative
First try to reset the power options to the default. Also when you are running the test you have the adapter plugged in??
What are the temperatures of the cpu and gpu of the laptop. Probably the temperature of the gpu is high and the system is lowering the preferences to cool down. Try cleaning it and replace the thermal paste and test again. Use a good quality thermal paste.
Yanko Goshev thank you for your reply
I just turn on my laptop and checked the temp
My battery is broken one month ago so i have no option to plugged in the adaptor
at first the temp was normal(i think its because i turn it off since morning)
Before test:
Cpu:54
Gpu:53
When i run the test it increased dramatically
Cpu:90
Gpu:95(clock speed slowing down to 405mhz)
After the test(idle)
Cpu:56
Gpu stay: 83(clock speed goes back to 950mhz, i think its stay at 83 because the clock speed is high)
And i tried resetting power option in control panel and nvidia setting, and the clock speed still high, i remembered three days ago i got desperate so i started googling “how to” on the internet and start tweaking things in windows registry to increase the gpu clockspeed because that day the clock is very low, its 405mhz. After tweaking, its sucess! my clock speed increased to 950mhz BUT when i play games the clock speed slowing down to 405 mhz again 🤦♂️ and the temp was so high and i got 5-10fps(im not even getting in the game menu). i dont remember what setting that i made in windows registry so i think to reset it i will reinstall windows. And i try overclocking my gpu when its slowing down with msi afterburner but the system is automatically shutdown lol.
Btw the cpu is intel 7700hq 4 cores
Gpu is geforce 950m
Yanko Goshev i just watched someone on youtube does the cpu test the model of his laptop same as me, when he run the test the temp just increase from 52 to 71, unlike me the temp increase dramatically from 54 to 90
Dont play with tweaking and so. Your laptop is just running hot and wants to cool down. Just clean and repaste it and try again.
Yanko Goshev okay i’ll give you update, when i done applying the thermal paste, thanks again 👍
Do you need to detach everything like in the video if you just want to clean the fan
I have this model and did this once. Sadly, yes you need to do everything just to access the fan.
Hello, thanks for the video. I have a problem : how do i fix again wifi wires, it doesn't seems to fit :/
You have to position them the right way. There is a little pin on the cable which has to go on the right place. You have to feel little snap when all connected right.
@@LaptopDisassembly i think something went wrong when i unpluged wires something droped, is there a way i can show you pictures of that?
Yes no problem. Upload a photo and share a link.
Here we go :
imgur.com/a/ihkedz2
I'm not sure if it is possible to fix this or not and I don't know if it possible to open the screen to change all the wires instead of fixing them.
So I have three questions:
-Is it possible to fix the wires?
-If it is possible to open the screen, can I change the wires?
-If any of the two options are good, does an usb wifi adapter is enough efficient?
Thank you for your attention ! :)
@@iancdp9 I don't see problem ot this side... Make a photo on the other side of the cable connector... I thin they are all fine... On th eother hand yes the display can be open.. Bu I think they are fine..
Do you any reference for replacing keyboard GL552JX without replacing Touchpad too. ??
The keyboard is bonded to the upper case. When i replace it i use hot iron to melt the plastic so that the new keyboard can stay still. You can use also little glue.

Hello, man i have a lot of problem removing the keyboard i just cant remove it i unclicked all of the keys but still it wouldn’t lift
Ако наистина сте развили всички болтчета, би трябвало да няма проблеми. Използвайте пластика от сим карта или дебитна карта и просто я плъзнете по цялото протежение. Ако има места където все още се държи ще се отворят. Отделно, ако това е първото му отваряне е малко по трудно. Пластмасите са сравнително здрави, така че може леко да напънете. НО се уверете че всички болтчета са махнати и пробвайте това с сим картата.
Yeah its soldered in. Theres a video for another model where a guy shows how to remove it. Unfortunately it's not plug n go like most laptop keyboards
Hello friend, very good video and I leave you a like. I have the same GL552J computer. When I turn it on, it stays on for two minutes with the fan running, the LED on but the screen black, and after those two minutes it turns off completely. If you can tell me a solution I will appreciate it. All the best.
Can be a faulty bios. Try to reset bios. Also try to remove the ram and power on without it, to test will it power off again, or it will stay on.
@@LaptopDisassembly Okay. I have tried it with and without RAM. I will look for tutorials to reset the BIOS. Thank you so much
@estronciopirito7489 Remove the main battery, after that open the laptop and disconnect the Internal battery for 5min. After that plug back everything and try.
@@LaptopDisassembly Okay. I installed a new CR2032 battery on the motherboard. I will perform the test you say and remove it for 5 minutes. I'll tell you. Thank you so much
Please show how you remove the 3 connector
Which one... If it sor the speakers, just move it little left to right and pull.
I have the same laptop and 3 of the standoffs for the heatsink of the cpu are broken like the 2 here. Is there anything I can do? Would superglue help? Or maybe I should bay standoffs of AliExpress and use one with a nut on the bottom? Which is more sturdy and actually possible
No need of super glue. The easy way is to put the bolt and the stand on reverse, if there is space to do that. If not you can buy proper nuts and just screw them. I always use that method and always works. Just don't tide them to maximum. Use equal tidying to all. Also put the nut on the top.
@@LaptopDisassembly What do you mean by putting the bolt and the stand on the reverse?
The bolt have little wider head, so you can put it from the bottom up. And you put the stand above the cooler and screw. I will make a photo today and upload it.
I did not find a broken one, so i broke one of mine for spares. There is no CPU but you will get the point. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oRX-yt7Ip3JPtIHoluYnRDamG2fHO1lq

Even if you haven't disconnect the lcd cable it can still be a little loose. Try reconnecting it again. Just unplug it and plug it back again. About the memory, check the memory slot. There may be a peace of dust or something else.

Douse it show any picture, or it stays black all the time. Did you disconnect the battery before doing anything. Try reconnecting the display and reinstall the memory again.

8gb, will cleaning and changing the thermal paste solve this?
I doubt. Nvidia 920 is not a high class gaming card. If you play the same games before without problems, than yes probably the laptop is lagging because of overheating. But i guess the video card can't run them properly.
@@LaptopDisassembly its not the graphics card, I played games like fifa 19 on the nvidia gt 720M and it was running smoothly.
@@GameOnWithAE than it can be from overheating. Replace the thermal paste and update video drivers and test.
@@LaptopDisassembly alright, plus I did some heat test and I noticed to cpu is thermal throttling.
@@GameOnWithAE if you test with AIDA64, most of the Asus will show you throttling.
which ram is that? which brand and model?
The memory is Hynix 8GB DDR 1600Mhz.
Yanko Goshev thanks 😊
Hey i need some help after cleaning it goes slower than before and turn of
Probably you did not mount the cooler correctly. What thermal paste did you use. Also are you shure you connect the fan correctly.
@@LaptopDisassembly hey, thx for the vid! Witch termal paste do you recomend and how much should i use?
I use Arctic mx-2 or mx-4... I apply thin layer and spred it with finger... Just cover thr hole cpu cristal
@@LaptopDisassembly chers! i'll be trying this out. as my pc seems to be aways warmer than before
After cleaning , i turned on my laptop , but the wifi dosent work . I tryed to open it again but i can.t see the problem . The black wire is the left one , am i right ?
Even if you switch the cables, the wifi should work. Try reconnecting the card.
I have Asus Rog GL552VX today it's cooler started making terrible noise.. Will cleaning help about that ? I'm little bit afraid It sound like old refrigerator :(
Levan Andiashvili probably there is a lot of dust in it and then the fan is spinning it makes contact with it. Clean the dust and use little machine oil to lubricate it.
Thanks for the answer
2 months warranty left I will bring it tomorrow ...
It is slowing down, probably because it is overheating and start throttling. Don't push it to much.
Levan Andiashvili you can take it to clean it under warranty. This way if the problem is in the fan they will replace it for free. If the problem is the dust you will pay for the cleaning. :)
Hello. What batterai cmos type please?
Battery is CR1220 www.amazon.com/Rome-Tech-CR1220-Battery-Venue/dp/B095PR9KPX
@@LaptopDisassembly trim’s💪🏼
hey dude, nice video!
just wondering if the M.2 SSD port support Pcie NVME SSD? Can you confirm that? Asus ROG GL552VX
Thanks!
According to Google, no. It supports only sata m.2. for a regular use you would not see any difference between normal and nvme.
thanks for the info dude. :)
How to replace internal SSD ?? Mine is full, 118Gb. I don't want to replace HDD by SSD but internal SSD by bigger SSD
The same way. Just disassemble the laptop and put the new ssd. After that you can use acronis true image or Aoemi Bacupper to clone the os to the new disk, or you can make a clean install.
Hello Yanko Goshev
I found your video and it was very helpfull, because I don`t know how to open my laptop. Thanks for this video.
I've been having problems with this laptop for some time. Have the same model as you.
- Intel Core i7 4720 HQ CPU
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M
- 8 GB of memory (I do not know which brand or model)
- 128 GB Micron_M600_MTFDDAV128MBF
- 1000 GB HGST HTS541010A9E680
Two years after I bought my laptop, I was in a game and played. Suddenly the screen started to flicker and the whole thing went on in a jerky way. The game was slow and was not playable anymore. It was the same with other games. Rebuilt my laptop a few months ago and reinstalled Windows. Nevertheless, it runs slower than normal. What could it be? I used to play games on maximum graphics. Now I have to be happy with minimal graphics settings, otherwise the games run slower with high graphics or with fewer frames per second. I talked to a few students. They assume that it is the temperature. I will then film my screen and show the power and temperature indicators. I do not know why it's so slow. I'm already at my limits. It can not be viruses or anything like that. Graphics card temperature is in games at 85 ° - 95 °. The processor is at 70 ° during normal operation. So I wanted to change the thermal grease and clean the cooler. Only I have to first see how to clean it.
Do you possibly know why it could be? Can it really be due to temperature or is it due to insufficient RAM or a defect in the SSD? I already ran some tests for the SSD and nothing came out. State that the SSD is working properly.
I do not know any people who can tell me exactly where the problem might be. Did you have the same problems as me with this laptop? Or with other things already the same experiences made? I do not know who else I could turn to ask. :-(
I hope you can tell me a few things
With grateful greetings and listen again
i just upload 2 videos about the temperatur of my nootbook. i hope it helps :-( and sorry for my englisch
@@luigipizzaiolo3616 sorry for the late replay, but UA-cam mark the comment as spam.
First the laptop is not mine, it is on a costumer. I work in a computer repair shop.
Now about your case.
The temperatures are high on the cpu in normal use. It should be around 50. I have 2 guesses.
1. The laptop is overheating and it is throttling. That is why the fps are dropping and it is starting to work slowly.
2. The hard drive is bad.
I have 2 qestions
1. Is the laptop slow all the time, or just when you start to play games.
2. Are the games installed on the ssd or on the regular disk. How are the smart status of the drives.
don`t worry. take your time ^^
1. must of the time. but not very slow. but in games it run very bad. have to play games on minimal graphic not only in games. and sometimes it have a freeze frame when I open something or start
2. the games are installed on the hdd
i tested the hdd too. it says all fine
i can test to intsall a game on the ssd to test if i have the same problem in games
One screw is loss thread. How can I unscrew it? Any ideas?
Use a drill mashine to remove the head..
Where is the cmos battery on this laptop
On 6:00 it is connected on the left side under the fan. It have red and black cable. :)
how do u connect/disconnect the keyboard backlight cable
Just unlock the connector and lift the cable little bit and pull it.
@@LaptopDisassembly okay, illd try that, Thanks a lot
Can someone help me, my backlight keyboard doesn't work after resamble
Make sure you connect the backlid cable. Just reconnect it and make sure it fits good in the connector. First slide the cable in... And after that push it down and lock.
The hole keyboard not working, or just the backlid.
After cleaning , i try to turn my laptop then i got the black screen . Why ? Can some on help me
A few questions.
1. Did you remove cpu.
2. Did you remove ram sticks.
3. Is there. a fan spin whee you press the power button.
On some models the gpu is not with thermal paste, but with thermal pads. They are thicker. If it was with pads, you have to put pads again. If all was with thermal paste, just check how you mount the cooler. All have to make contact with the pipe. When you install all just resit all the memory sticks. Try and tell what is the result.
@Marc Pavia the black and white cables are for WiFi... Even without them it should work. No problem if you connected them on reverse. Just check for proper mounting of the cooler, and reinsert the memory. Good luck
@Marc Pavia no point of buying HDmi cable. If the problem is the monitor... The laptop will start and you will hear Windows sound or simular. Try to reinsert the memory. Now when you try to turn the laptop on... Is there a fan speed. Also check is the heat pipe make good contact with cpu, and gpu. But my guess is the memory. Normally you can turn it on even without heat pipe. In that case the laptop will show picture, and after a while it will turn off because of overheating. Try he memory like I told you. Also see did you connect the LCD cable correctly.
will it void warranty if i open it?
Rigizkigy2 No it is called user upgradable. There is no warranty sticker to that point.
thx
Where is the CMOS Battery? I have to replece it. Anyone help please?
The battery is under the keyboard. You can see it on 5:45 but it is with connector
@@LaptopDisassembly thank you. 😁
The bolts are very hard
My power socket hard to remove and why?
Hard to remove from the board connector, or from the bottom plastic. If firs, try move it left to right and pull. Otherwise probably the power jack is little glued to the bottom.
Yanko Goshev btw your video very helpful, my fps rise again yehaaa. thanks bro 😃👍
@@mohamedsolihinaduwan4191 glad you like it
Turn on subtitles at the beginning
I was little sick, but if you don't like it don't watch.
Assholes xD
@@LaptopDisassembly no man, thats not your fault.
Thats just fckd up automatic subtitles system.
Kind a fun fact.
my excuses than.... :) :) :)
I snapped keyboard in half because i forgot to remove a screw
Bad things happens. Did you test ti. The keyboards are flexible, so if is just bend probably is still working.
@@LaptopDisassembly it really did snap but it was area between the keys and mouse touch pad so it still worked fine. I did skip the part where you explained that removing the screw on HDD is crucial, so i left it on and i snapped as i forced it too hard.
Great video!
My laptop suddenly shutdown after turn on a few second :( why ?
1. That is before cleaning, or after?
2. Are you sure you connect the fan and battery.
@@LaptopDisassembly after... Where the power supply fan ?
@@mihz4367 I ment the fan connector and the battery connector.
@@LaptopDisassembly Ohhh i see okay2... I'll try it again... Izit possible the power of fan ?
@@mihz4367 some laptops check the fan speed when powered up, and if they don't detect fan they power off the laptop for protection
Guys , playing csgo how much fps you got ?? In asus gl552vx
like 200ish sometimes more
How to remove the touchpad and keyboard cables? I can't get through this :/
When you lift the palm rest with the keyboard, lift it about 30-40 degrees and use a tweezers to unlock the connector
