Asus TUF Gaming Laptop FA506 Tear Down Disassemble

[@fabomi]

This is by far the best video I ever seen on disassembly, and I have seen a few. Now I can fix the noise from the fans. You Rock

[@MichaelMarsland]

Absolutely incredible video! What a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@jplauzon]

Hello sir, awesome video! Keep up the amazing tuto's! Is it possible to replace the keyboard backlit ribbon cable other than by replacing the whole keeyboard ? I see there is a replacement part for it but i am not sure if it's for that exact same MB model as the one in this video. If anyone knows, a reply would greatly appreciated. Thank you !

[@jportsteen]

Hello there, can you tell me please what is the use of thw cable you release in min 17:10? My laptop lacks that cable, so thats why I'm asking, thanks in advance, nice video, very well explained.

[@ScottThePisces]

Very informative deconstruction video 🙌🏼 It all looks soo complicated inside

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@adiptabagas1803]

i've just spilled tea on my tuf keyboard, it not much but does it really damaging?

[@godofnothing520]

If you are replacing the touchpad you don't need the whole frame. There are 2 screws on the frame just loosen them then you can take the touchpad out. It's not molded unlike the keyboard.

[@LevinBurant]

Thanks very good. The biggest issue I had was opening the bottom cover which doesn't come off very easily. I have almost identical model of this ASUS. I just upgraded my RAM from 2x 8GB to 2x 16GB and added new 1TB SSD. 3 O'clock there's 2nd SSD slot for additional storage if you're not looking to replace system SSD. You can can 2 SSDs in this baby.

[@AmitGupta-zm1wg]

Can you please confirm if the primary and the secondary SSD nvme slots are pcie gen 3 or gen 4? I'm planning to put a 2tb kc3000 in the secondary of it's gen 4. I read somewhere that the primary slot is gen 4 but secondary could be gen 3 but no confirmation.

[@LevinBurant]

@@AmitGupta-zm1wg looks to be gen 3. My 2nd SDD is SAMSUNG 980 M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4

[@AmitGupta-zm1wg]

@@LevinBurant yeah but that's thee one you added isn't it? Could it be that the pcie is gen 4 but you installed a gen 3 SSD instead which in any sm case would still work

[@LevinBurant]

@@AmitGupta-zm1wg CPU-Z shows PCI-E 4.0, it's really hard to find specs for my model because there are so many different ones but this one I have is one of better ones, just needed RAM and SSD upgrades which actually only came up to about $100 after selling old RAM.

[@shawnvines2514]

Very helpful teardown. My DC power cable does not seem to connect correctly with my DC Power Jack of the laptop so it will intermittently not charge. The laptop switches modes when it loses power connection so it is a real pain. I'm going to order a new DC Power Jack for this laptop and see if it connects correctly (and not intermittently) with the DC power cable. Wish me luck

[@churro6160]

update?

[@shawnvines2514]

@churro6160 New internal DC cable fixed power issue. Video is spot on.

Does this laptop have a CMOS battery? I don't see it at all.

[@zagStygian]

Which of all the cables is the one connected to the webcam? I've been trying to fix a connection problem and I'm not sure the webcam is plugged correctly since I recently changed the screen and wifi/bluetooth adapter. The better solution is to get an external webcam, sure, but I'd like to retain the portability aspect of the machine without slowly transforming the laptop into a tower lol

[@shakabumbum722]

where the batteries cmos sir on this laptop ?

[@kiynl8347]

Thank u dude, really great video and great voice u have. I bought this device. But when I connect the adapter, the adapter voltage suddenly stops. This is my second 200 watt adapter broken. Where do you think the objection can come from?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped. 200W adapter seems too high. Did you get the correct adapter ?

[@Sixsleeper]

Great video. But after removing motherboard what is the little control board with ribbon to motherboard. Mine got liquid to it and needs replaced.

[@TheDarkAztek]

Great video, thanks!! I have a question, How can I reset bios on the board, I have a black screen and can't seem to locate the round battery to do a hard reset.

[@FuzeProMax]

PERFECT VIDEO! Thanks for the video and the knowledge .

[@agaricilaurentiu3326]

hello mate. I would love to see how can I replace my keyboard from this pc, how can I determine which one to buy ? thanks in advance

[@abiramiguhan1719]

Can you please identify few compatible mother boards for this model? I cant afford the original as it costs around 80% of the price of the whole device. Or maybe an old one for sale? Subed too.

[@AngelDiaz-zi6dd]

Is there any chance you could help me with a little question? I'm cleaning my laptop, applying new thermal paste, etc I just wanted to know, what thickness are the thermal pads? Would like to replace those as well, since they're pretty dry

Did you replace the thermal paste on the additional components, or only the cpu/gpu?

[@jesschee3329]

Good work. Keep it up!

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@jedranque163]

hey good day sir how about replacement of the graphics card is it possible? or i need to buy i new motherboard?

[@gabeshepperd]

I have the same question. I think you have to replace the motherboard. But can you also use a slightly higher spec motherboard for a similar model in the series?

[@itzhurtz1083]

Hey man I couldn’t see it clearly in the video but wanna ask is there a slot of M.2 NVMe empty on the motherboard?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

No extra M.2 slot. Just only one

so i followed your video on screen-replaement but it looks like i did something resumably the lcd cable. watching this, its the one thing you didn't do but i think i don't need to disconnect all the things except the lcd cable an th hinge screws? would that be right? (fewest removing parts! i already did something to it once :o)

Same models here! why my CPU speed drop and stuck at 0,38Ghz when plugged in (sometimes)?. Can cause lagging, throttling, system slowing down

please be aware there were two versions of this laptop, one like this one with the expandable 2.5" drive and a small battery and another with a different larger battery and no expansion for 2.5" drive.

[@castle2k007]

Hello @UberGeaks thx for the video but the reason why I watched the video is to see when the CMOS was but still couldn't see where it is located. I want to clear mine because my screen is broken and it saved a configuration whick i don't want and I can't ise external display on it..help please

[@UbergeeksBiz]

At 9:40 CMOS is right side. Red white black cable connected and battery is black tape circle

[@DavidAiwekhoe-qc7fy]

Thanks very much. The Asus 505GD gaming I have does not charge beyond 75% even when it is left all day to charge. What do you think is the issue? and at some point, it makes a loud noise as the fan spins?

[@zend666]

check the setting, if you prefer to preserve the lifespan the battery capped at that, if you want maxxed to 100% change at the setting.

[@romandaw]

Thanks fot this. Do you think its possible to upgrade the internal webcam? Its currently a USB2.0 HD UVC webcam in device manager. (HD 720p) I Googled but have no idea on the specs of the camera or what I could buy to upgrade it.

don't spread your thermal paste all over. Make an x and add some dots in the gaps, but don't overdo the thermal paste, it's not good to have it leaking around in your system, and if you do it like he says and spread it all around it's going to leak into your components.
