Two 9.5 mm screws in the middle of the back edge, and one 9.5 mm screw in the right edge

Two 4.3 mm screws in the back corners

Invert the laptop in order to gain access to the ribbons.
-
Remove each ribbon by flipping the small white plastic flap up and gently pulling on the ribbon.

Now that the ribbons have been detached from the bottom cover, carefully remove the keyboard plate cover. Once it has been removed, place it in a safe and moisture free area so it does not get damaged.
Yes and you have to put lotion on
Now, that is a stupid question! Of course! As I am working on 551M, I naturally have to have nails painted orange, with blue accents!

Use the Phillips #0 Screwdriver to unscrew the 3.2 mm Phillips #0 screw which attaches the WiFi card to the motherboard.

Remove each of the two small antenna connections by disconnecting one wire at a time. Each wire should easily unsnap from the Wifi card.
This computer uses a Mini PCIe slot card, as you can see in the photo's. You can órder almost any card, from either FENVI brand (Intel) or Artheros (Qualcomm), just make certain you order a card that specifically says it is a HALF HEIGHT Mini PCI-e card. Intel stop producing cards like this after the 7265HMW card but other brands make compatible cards. In the Intel design, any card that ends in 'HMW' is a card that is a mini PCIe card. If you see any other combination of letters then it is not likely to be compatible.
If you have any questions, ask the vendor if the card is compatible with your computer.

Remove the battery from the laptop by applying pressure on both ends and lifting it out of the case.

With the Phillips #0 Screwdriver, remove the nine 5.5 mm Phillips #0 screws which hold the motherboard in place.

-
Remove the wires by easily pulling them parallel to the motherboard's surface.
You should never pull plugs out by the wires themselves. ALWAYS use a tool to release the plug itself by inserting a spudger between the plug and socket, and gently easing it out. Pulling by the wires risks damaging the wires, or ripping the socket off the motherboard.

Remove the LCD display connection by gently pulling on the attached wire.
-
Gently lift any tape that may be holding the connection.
If the tape is removed when disconnecting, be SUPER sure that the connector is the right way before reconnecting. I managed to brake this connector by putting it in the wrong way! Both sides look very similar.

does replacing this battery improve battery life?
Hello, my Asus x550za suddenly shut off and will not boot. No power, no lights. I've verified 19 volts coming through the AC adapter, power jack and power jack port. I noticed that one side of the CMOS battery holder came unsoldered from the motherboard and is hanging. Could this have caused the laptop to suddenly turn off and to not be able to boot?
Thanks.
I have a f541s laptop…it has a cmos battery problem but when i open the laptop i can't seem to find the battery on the motherboard,is it possible that it's a built in?
Hi,
I have ASUS X751N, I can not find any cmos on motherboard.
Anyone know how to find cmos!
screw assignments are definitely wrong. I swapped the red and the green, as per comment above, and kept the blue as-is.

Thanks everyone. It does seem like someone got their screws mixed up when they wrote this guide. I’ve made some changes as you all suggested, so the screw placements should be more accurate now. If anyone with this laptop could verify the screw measurements with a digital caliper, that’d also be very helpful.
