How to open an asus eee pc netbook. How to disassemble a laptop and clean the dust. We disassemble and clean the laptop fan from dust
Instructions
A laptop is a more complex and compact system than a conventional computer tower and when disassembling it you need to be very careful not to break the device and make it unusable. The analysis should begin with a thorough external examination. Turn the bottom upside down. On the bottom you will see covers under which various peripheral modules will be hidden - RAM, hard drive, Wi-Fi module and others. The first step is to remove the battery. Even if you have previously disconnected the laptop from the network, many of its components may be energized. Remove all the screws that you can see, but try not to lose sight of the screws hidden under the module covers and battery.
Now you need to remove all devices. The hard drive is usually removed by sliding it away from the connector. Some discs may have a special tab that makes this task easier. The next step is to remove the disk drive; its fastening screws are located on the bottom, but in some cases it may have additional fastenings underneath, and then you will have to wait a little while removing the drive. Disconnect the CPU cooler power cables and Wi-Fi module, remove the cooler. The need to periodically clean the cooler from dust may arise even if you work in a clean, ventilated area. You will be surprised at the layer of dust that has accumulated on the fan. If the cooler was your goal, then after cleaning it, you should reassemble the laptop in the reverse order of disassembly.
But this does not always help; sometimes there is a need to clean the radiator and update the thermal paste on the processor chip. Unscrew the radiator mounting screws. Usually the radiator is secured with 4 screws and one of them is hidden under the warranty sticker. If the old thermal paste has dried out, it may take a little force to separate the heatsink from the processor, but remember, caution is everything, brute force can completely destroy your computer. At this point, you can finish working with the bottom and turn the laptop over into its normal position. All other mounting screws are located under the keyboard; in different laptops the keyboard is removed in different ways, but upon careful inspection, you can find grooves and latches in all of them, which can be used to remove the keyboard from the laptop. Disconnect the keyboard cable. If you set out to get to the matrix, you will need to remove top cover laptop. Don't forget to disconnect the matrix cable before doing this. Inspect the laptop for hidden screws and unscrew them. Remove its top cover. The matrix itself is attached to the housing using screws; upon dismantling, access to the inverter also becomes possible.
To remove the display, you need to remove the plugs located around the perimeter of the screen, unscrew the screws underneath them and, with gentle force, remove the frame from the display. By folding the cable, you can easily remove the display matrix from the laptop. The extent to which you disassemble your laptop will depend on your ultimate goals, but remember, you must know exactly why you are disassembling it. If you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to contact a special repair service; the specialists working there will cope with the disassembly much faster and better, and most importantly, they will not harm the computer due to the lack of necessary experience.

General information about disassembling laptops
In this article I will try to show how to disassemble and reassemble a laptop, I will dwell in detail on the important nuances that will help you do everything correctly. This manual complements other repair material: .
Important Note: Disassembling and repairing a laptop is quite a complex operation. If you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to entrust the work to a service center. The author is not responsible for any consequences of your actions.
I was prompted to write this article by the need to replace the right hinge in the Asus N61Vn laptop:
Unpleasant situation. I had to order new hinges on eBay. A couple of weeks of waiting and new hinges are on my table:
To replace them, you need to disassemble almost the entire laptop. Let's get started.
Laptop disassembly and repair
First of all, you need to make some small preparations. For disassembly we will need a set of screwdrivers:
The fact is that you can find a variety of bolts in a laptop. To avoid damaging them when unscrewing, you need to use an appropriate screwdriver.
It is also highly advisable to use an antistatic wrist strap and mat. In some cases, static electricity can damage laptop electronics. Before disassembling, it is advisable to remove excess electrostatic charge from yourself by touching a grounded battery or pipeline.
I'll tell you briefly about what we have to do. To access hinges and other internal components system, you must first disassemble the base of the laptop. It most often consists of two halves, which are fastened with bolts on the bottom and sometimes under the keyboard. Also, these two halves are fastened along the perimeter with numerous latches. We have to carefully separate these halves.
Important Note: Since different components of the laptop use different bolts (at least 2-3 types), before disassembling, remember where each bolt is used. This will simplify the subsequent assembly of the laptop.
Now you can move on to your laptop. Be sure to disconnect the laptop from the power supply and remove the battery:
Remove the bottom cover and drive. They are usually held on by bolts. Drives in most cases have a similar fastening system: they are held on by one or more bolts. One is located approximately 20 cm from the center of the disc tray. It can be accessible both from the bottom and from the keyboard. In this case, in addition to it, there is another bolt that holds the drive:
We unscrew both and pull out the drive itself:
Hard drives in laptops are most often placed in frames or other mounts:
To remove it, you first need to unscrew the bolts, and then move the basket with the hard drive to the side and lift it up.
When disassembling a laptop, it is worth considering that in addition to bolts, panels, hatches and other parts can be held in place by the following latches:
You need to be careful with them. In some cases you need to gently pull the panel up, and in others you need to move it a little. To replace the hinges, you need to completely disassemble the entire laptop and disassemble the bottom. Unscrew all the bolts on the bottom and remove the cooling system:
Now carefully turn the laptop over and remove the keyboard. In many modern laptops it is held on by latches at the top:
These latches are pressed into the case and at the same time we lift the keyboard:
When removing the keyboard, you need to disconnect its cable. There are two main mechanisms for attaching cables: using a frame that protrudes from the connector and which folds up. In this case, to remove the keyboard, use a screwdriver to carefully move the frame away from the connector to the side:
In the same way, you need to pull the cable higher. But to turn off the touchpad cable, you need to turn the frame up:
I specifically emphasize this because often not knowing how to open the connectors leads to damage to the frames, the connectors themselves, and the cables. They are difficult to repair.
Let's continue. Now you need to unscrew the bolts under the keyboard. They hold the halves of the laptop base together. When all the bolts are unscrewed, carefully separate the halves of the base:
At this stage, it is important to do everything carefully so as not to damage the latches. After a little disassembly we will finally have access to the hinges. Here's the left one:
And here is the broken right one:
We unscrew them and release the roof with the matrix:
Now let's disassemble the lid itself. It usually consists of two halves. They are held on by bolts and latches. The bolts are usually located under the linings:
We remove them and unscrew the bolts:
After this, we finally get access to the broken loop of the matrix:
We change it to a new one:
Please note an interesting detail. There is a small nut on the hinge:
It serves to adjust the tightness of the loop. If you unscrew it a little, the lid will open easier, if you tighten it, it will be more difficult. You can adjust the hinges if desired.
Assembling the cover together with the linings:
Now let’s assemble the entire laptop. Pay special attention to the trains. Before installing the cooling system, do not forget to remove the old thermal paste and apply new one:
This does not apply to thermally conductive pads. There is no need to change them.
A few minutes later the laptop is assembled and working. The hinge has been replaced:
That's all. Thank you for your attention!

Tools used
Remove the screw that secures the memory module cover. Remove the cover.
The compartment contains two memory modules. To remove them from the compartment, you need to slide apart the latches located on the sides of the memory module slot. The memory module exits the slot at an angle of 30 degrees. Now you can simply remove the memory module from the compartment. IN Asus laptops The Eee 1215B PC uses DDR3 memory. Note. One of my clients has two 4GB memory modules installed in his laptop.
Remove the six screws that secure the keyboard and palm rest.
Carefully use a piece of soft plastic (such as a guitar pick) to separate the palm rest from the laptop body. Next, remove the pad with your hands. The hand rest is secured with several hidden latches. To open these latches, you need to slightly wiggle the platform itself. Lift the palm rest slightly and slide it towards the display to reveal the hidden latches. Detailed explanations are given in comment 9.
Do not raise the palm rest too high from the laptop body, since the touchpad is still connected to the motherboard. First, you need to open the connector latch and disconnect the touchpad cable.
Separate the palm rest from the keyboard so you can reach the connector.
To open the connector latches, you need to move the brown tab approximately 2 mm in the indicated direction. Do not dislodge the tab from the base of the connector. The brown tab should remain on the base of the connector.
The following illustration shows the connector with the latch closed. As you can see, the brown tongue is on the base. You can now disconnect the touchpad cable from the connector.
Remove the hand rest.

The main rule when assembling and disassembling a laptop: not a single action during the assembly and disassembly process requires the application of physical force! If something doesn’t work out, make sure once again that the actions taken are correct!
Any laptop owner has had the desire to disassemble their laptop computer at least once during their use. Some are driven by curiosity, others want to upgrade their laptop without paying for the services of service centers.
We chose the Asus A7 model. This laptop is average in terms of the complexity of its internal structure, its components are quite universal and the disassembly algorithm is suitable for many laptops.
1. Turn the laptop upside down. Here are the covers that cover most of the peripheral modules: HDD, RAM, modules wireless communication.
2. First, remove the battery. Even though the laptop is turned off, many components are under voltage. Unscrew all the screws and remove all the covers. You should pay attention to the screws hidden under the covers and under the battery.
3. Next, remove all visible devices. Let's start with hard drive. As a rule, it is removed by moving it in the direction opposite to the connection connector. Many hard drives have a special tab to make them easier to grip. From it you can determine the direction of the displacement.
5. Disconnect the power cables for the processor cooler and the antennas of the wireless communication modules. The antennas themselves are located along the matrix of the laptop, so they need to be disconnected to remove the top cover of the laptop.
6. Remove the cooler of the cooling system. If you're taking your laptop apart to clean it, now is the time to do it. Preventive cleaning is necessary for a laptop, even if it is used very carefully and in clean room. Why - you can read in the article “Why does the laptop get hot? "
7. However, cleaning the cooler alone is not enough to normal operation cooling systems. It is necessary to clean the radiator and replace the thermal paste on the processor chip. We unscrew the 4 screws securing the radiator, one of them is always under the warranty sticker and remove the radiator. If the thermal paste is old, the heatsink may stick to the processor, then a little force will be required. But you should be careful not to damage the processor itself.
8. The laptop can now be turned over to its normal working position with the keyboard facing up. The remaining case mounting screws are located under the keyboard, so we need to remove it. Methods for attaching keyboards are different. Most often, on one side there are protrusions that are inserted into the grooves of the case, and on the other there are latches that finally secure the keyboard. Sometimes instead of latches there are screws that are hidden under the housing panel. Then you should first remove the panel and unscrew these screws. In our case, latches are used.
9. Disconnect the keyboard cable and all other visible cables. The fastening of the cables in almost all laptops is the same - it is pressed to the connector by a bar, which opens either by moving or lifting.
10. Next, you need to remove the top cover of the laptop. To do this, disconnect the cables connecting the laptop matrix. These connectors are located either under the keyboard, or under the housing panel above the keyboard, or under a special cover. In our case, the last option is used.
11. Remove the covers covering the hinges and unscrew the remaining screws securing the hinges.
12. Now you can remove the top cover of the laptop.
Please note that this model has hidden screws under the cover. They also need to be unscrewed.
13. Now the laptop case can be separated. There are latches located around the perimeter; you can handle them using a spatula used by radio amateurs or a fairly thin flat screwdriver.
