Found my old ASUS K56CM and was refurbishing it. Thanks for this, such a fantastic straight forward and chill video. I loved it, thank you.

Thank you for making this. I didn't realize I had to remove the entire back cover to remove that one RAM chip.

Great video, nice to see it step by step.

I know it has been a few years, but do you happen to know where the antennae are located?
Edit: Nevermind, I found it!

S56C uses same mobo with K56CA...How can i remove existing Ram in slot 1 which is partially (a bit of) located behind backcover without removing whole backcover like at 5:06 ??? Why did they design like that?

Hi, nice video.
I have an Asus S56C which is pretty the same (I think) to this you show on your video. The thing is I installed an mSSD and Windows 10 on it, everything was beatifull, laptop worked really fine, until I installed the SATA disk that came with the laptop. After restart, laptop boot from the old disk, then I went to bios and change boot order, saved and after that, laptop dont boot again, I cant even get to bios, screen doesnt show anything. Do you know how to reset bios on these machines?
Any help would be very presiate.
Thanks

Do you have any idea if the K56CA will support 16gb of RAM? The Asus website does not specify if it is up to 8gb max RAM per slot or total...

Boas.
Após o processo o meu TouchPad deixou de funcionar, gostava de saber se foi algum flat que ficou mal encaixado.
Funciona com rato de USB normalmente mas não reconhece o TouchPad.
Não sei se o problema será do flat MB em baixo.
Obrigado

Great video. I have the same lapotop. I turn on my Pc after pressing the Power button more times. What would be the problem?

[kevinmauriciohospitalmora]

Hello, is that I am reheating a lot of gray square plate on the left side of where the RAM is, I do not know if that can be changed and what that part is called.

The fan works well too, but the ducts are overheating a lot, thank you, I'm waiting for your help.

Thx a lot..Is there an easy way to change my Asus K56C bios cmos battery without removing the entire back?

[EgasnowMc]

When you remove this thing at 7.50, do you just take the wires in your hand ? Like they are really little, isn't going to broke them?
And last question, I opened my PC and since, I only have 30fps on Csgo / Minecraft, I had 100fps just before, I just did want to clean my PC. But i couldn't because of this wires. So, do you know how I can know if I damaged my CPU / GPU when I opened my PC ? Because I don't remember that I damaged it...

I doubt I'll get a response, but could you happen to know how I can detach the display?
