Hi! I have the ASUS VivoBook Flip R518UA-DH51T 15.6". I’m trying to do a ram upgrade but wanted to make sure if it’s the same exact laptop you had before I open mine up. What would the max GB RAM and am I able to remove the Toshiba hard drive and install an SSD!

[@uFixTek]

🫠Regarding your question, sure you can remove the HDD and place any SSD 2.5' up to 2TB without any issues, and install the windows in it. about the ram to check the max ram capacity check this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnyoe4ehi9mbarM 16gb compatible ram: amzn.to/43oWNPN Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻 This is an Amazon affiliate link.

Did you find anything? I'm in the same boat right now; have the bottom cover off the TP-510UA, but don't see where the RAM slots are (possibly on the underside of the motherboard, like in this video). Adding an M.2 SATA drive wasn't difficult, and made a big improvement.

Hi, The plug at the rear, I think you said it might be the LCD plug, is that a pull up or pull to the right hand side? and also the right hand speaker plug, is it a pull up or pull away? Many thanks for taking the time to do this video by the way.

I have the same laptop, and I was trying to see if I could reset the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery. But I have taken the whole thing apart and I can't seem to find it. Could you offer some guidance on where it may be?

[@uFixTek]

Mike Co this mobos dont use a cr2030 battery, they keep the config using the internal laptop battery. To reset bios do the following: 1. Open the laptop. 2. Disconnect the internal polymer battery. 3. Plug in or press on on/off (power button) keep pressing for 30sec, this will make sure it will discharge all the capacitors on board. 4. Plug back everything and done. For the step 3, dont use or plug in the charger

[@michaeldaly3166]

Thanks ++ Bro. Question re the Power Button... could a malfunction of this cause the laptop to spontaneously shut down, even when booted just to BIOS? Or is this more likely to be motherboard related? Thanks again! Michael

[@uFixTek]

hi, very simple for the laptop to shutdown regarding the power B, you must know that the power button must be pressed for over 5 sec in order for the laptop or PC to shutdown "spontaneously " "hard shut down". so when you turn the laptop on and if after 5-6 sec the laptop still on and it didn't turn off then its not your power button, if its over 6sec then you may have a bad HDD or back ram chip (as they are soldered on board). if the laptop if entered to bios and it shouts down in there then you are in a trouble you have a component issue. i recommend to do the following, when you power on make sure you don't move the charger cable , remove the hdd and enter bios, see if it shuts down. try using a different charger, it could be your charger(but then all depends if your battery if its not holding any charge) and you have a faulty charger then ya it should be your charger, power off connect the charger and let it charge and power on with battery see if it shuts down. let me know , good luck

@@uFixTek I got it going again after disconnecting the battery. Must have short circuited it somehow. Whilst troubleshooting this I noticed that it will run continuously ie not shutting down at all, with the keyboard removed. I plan to give the inside of the keyboard a good vacuuming...ie could dust build up or some other internal keyboard problem cause the laptop to short circuit/shut down? Unfortunately I've damaged the black locking clips of the mouse/keyboard ribbon cables - any clues on what to do? They're so fragile...

[@michaeldaly3166]

Update...got the touchpad ribbon cable connector clip back in place, with assistance of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZObdIJ9fZp8iLc Needed a forceps and sharp needle to edge the tiny thing back in. So basically the problem was dust related. I also used an isopropyl-alcohol swab to clean up the underside of clear plastic (where it was in contact with circuitry). uFixTek, thanks again for the video...couldn't have repaired it without it!

xSerchcresx sorry didn’t recall the back side m.2 slot. To just clarify: this are different: 1. Hdd sata ( its a mechanical hard drive with sata conector ). 2. ssd sata is a solid state with sata interface ( same conector as where you have you main hardrive). 3. M.2 slot is for m.2 ssd only , (m.2 ssd sata doesn’t exist) 4. Sata connectors hace reaches to the limit speed by ssd drives. So thats why they came up with m.2 slot as they use a pci express port. So the m.2 slot have a wide bandwidth for file transfer, if you put a m.2 ssd in that slot it will wor fine and it will only work to mas speed of you sata conector. BUT if you buy a NVME ssd you can plug it in there and the nvme ssd are 6x faster than m.2 ssd or sata sad drives. Therefore YES you can purchase an “m.2 ssd” or “nvme ssd” they both will work just fine only that nvme will be much faster.

Hi I have the same laptop and opened it to upgrade the ram after doing that the lcd screen is not turning on however laptop is starting. Can you please help me? Thanks

REMOVE BOTH RAMS, then power on and it would not do anything, then turn off and plug both rams all the way in and power on and it will take up to 15sec to configure the rams.

Appreciate if you can help.me with this

i'm sorry but for some reason youtube comments algorithm, took your response and placed it in spam area, donno why! im glad that you got it resolved. regarding the battery its a easy fix. follow the following steps: open your device management drivers: by right clicking on your windows start then choose "Device manager" then you want to uninstall all and any driver that says A/c power by right clicking and click uninstall. as shown here: imgur.com/a/CxwtjVa The battery driver will be reinstalled automatically after the start. Then check if your battery is charging now. If the above didnt work follow this: -Shut down your laptop (ensure to save your work before shutting down). -Remove any peripheral devices connecting to your laptop, such as USB drive, Bluetooth. -Unplug the AC adapter charger from your laptop. -Press and hold down the power button for 60 seconds, then release. dont let go if the laptop powers on and anything just hold it 60sec -Re-plug the AC adapter/power charger to your laptop. -Power on your laptop as normal. should be charging and saying “plugged in, charging” if that didnt work do this: Switch to Full Capacity Mode Battery Health Charging Another possible solution for ASUS laptop “plugged in not charging” problem is to check your battery health mode and make sure to choose Full Capacity Mode (many thanks to our lovely users for the advice). ASUS laptops provide a feature named “ASUS Battery Health Charging”, and it pops up automatically in the very beginning after your OS is installed. And it offers three options for you to choose for your battery health: Full Capacity Mode: Your battery is charged to its full capacity. Balanced Mode: Your battery stops charging when the power is above 80% and re-charges when the power is below 78%. Maximum Lifespan Mode: Your battery stops charging when the power is above 60% and re-charges when the power is below 58%. So if your ASUS laptop is in Balanced Mode or Maximum Lifespan Mode, you’ll no doubt have the battery not charging problem. To fix it, follow these steps: 1) Go to Taskbar > Show hidden icons at the bottom right corner. 2) Click the battery health charging mode icon. 3) In the popup window, select the first option: Full Capacity Mode. Then click OK to save. 4) Restart your laptop. imgur.com/a/VC2OewE let me know

@@uFixTek what if it doesn't work at all, it keep shows nothing on both leds, no charging no power, is it mosfet faulty or something??

[@uFixTek]

1st of all you if you have no led light or charge light it has nothing to do with your cmos. you need to make sure that you have power going across the power jack use a multi-miter to measure that the 19v is there after the jack and let me know, imgur.com/a/zoLXPA6
