Super helpful video! I ordered replacement fans from China and they should arrive this week and I will be using your video to help replace the CPU cooling fan. Grateful it's the easier fan to replace! No heat sink removal! Thanks again!

[@jwhit1]

Thanks for making this! I plan on taking it apart to clean the fans :) this will come in handy

[@JimBracher]

Thank you for a very helpful video. I have to replace my gpu fan (the right fan, the one requiring motheboard removal), and this helps. And while I've enjoyed this laptop for a few years, seeing your struggles, I'm very reluctant to buy an Asus again.

[@bijianwu5124]

thanks for taking time to make this helpful video

[@Tragic7Bal]

very glad you did a teardown of a GL704 series laptop. Thank you although I am disappointed that this laptop is not very replacement friendly.

[@vpan1982]

you have done a great detailed video buddy.. would appreciate if you give part / model numbers of replacement parts viz. Battery, charger, display, etc. Thanks in advance. Cheers

[@Donorito]

Planning on doing this today, im just gonna pop open the bottom and use compressed air to clean out the fans.

[@francescoferretti3800]

Hey, were you able to clean the fans without removing everything?

[@Donorito]

@@francescoferretti3800 Yup, super easy

[@francescoferretti3800]

​@@Donorito were you even able to remove clogged dust from the fan exit (if it was present)

[@Donorito]

@@francescoferretti3800 I didn't have any there, but it was definitely do-able. Buy some q-tips before opening it so you can get any dust out of hard to reach areas

[@JC-wq9pd]

Thank you for the time you took making this video, what do you think about the thermal design of the laptop?

[@teslahunter4118]

I was hoping you'd show how the hinge caps come off as one of my hinge cap broke and was hoping to replace but was unsure as to how much of the computer I had to disassemble

[@johnatanswift]

The keyboard stopped working. At first I had to wait about 10 minutes after turning it on, as if the BIOS battery was completely dead and needed time to charge. This went on for 6 months. Then the keyboard stopped working altogether. What should I do?

[@LizaTam-j4v]

So there is a way to replace the lid/screen without removing that myriad other components in it?

[@racemanstill]

I disassembled a sticked display and it had two peaces of tape on the sides and I remove them rolling the tape over a screwdriver like when you take out a battery from a smartphone. My laptop is HP but maybe is the same process.

[@justinthomas4259]

Is the gpu able to upgraded?

Bro can u slow down how to pop up video cable monitor

[@solo0071]

Also...what is that paste on the chips? not the cpu and gpu. It looks differant. Like replacement for pads? Any videos on reapplying this and what it actually is?

[@matthewtarazona2941]

Does this version of the scar 2 not have a cmos battery?

[@AmsterDamian1]

When I move the display up my whole screen starts flickering. What can be the issue?

[@sulaiman3177]

Very helpful man, thanks a lot! Quick question, if I wanna do a repaste, do you I need to remove anything else other than the 10 screws holding the heatsinks on? Saw a couple of videos the showed that I had to remove the whole thing up, including the two fans! :/

[@AidedOnslaught]

on my 17 you can keep the fans on.

Can the fans be replaced without removing the motherboard? (just cut the tape from above?)

can this laptop keycap get remove without removing anything just the key? like pop it off?

Anyone know what can be upgraded?

Where is the cmos battery located though

[@TheStrossicro]

13:45; My GPU fan died (by the sound seems a bearing broke) two days ago. Ordered a replacement now from China; by the lookss of your struggles, I am not looking forward to the surgery. I am wondering the Part where you remove the motherboard, do you think it can be skipped if I use a scalpel to cut the tape? 13:45

[@clinten3131]

Did it work could you replace the fan without removing the mobo?

[@TheStrossicro]

@@clinten3131 I tried cutting the tape, but it was a very strong tape which I could not cut as easily as I thought. In the end I wiggled the old gpu fan enough for it to detach from the tape as I deemed cutting it was too dangerous since I needed to apply allot of force to perforate and maintain a cut. Perhaps I simply had a bad edge...

[@TheStrossicro]

@@clinten3131 But yes, I replaced the gpu fan without removing the mobo

[@HyggeMarshmallow]

Which thermal paste did u use?

[@j0ker_Editor_Channel]

My same laptop says that the 2070 graphics card is not connected, but I thought it was integrated? So I have no idea how to fix this and have spent hours of internet research trying to. The tips have not been able to fix it so far and I’m getting worried it might just be broken. Please anyone help if they think they can.

[@therift_7350]

Oh my god I didn’t noticed the tape, nearly bent my heatsink, after 1 year, I’ll do thermal paste replacement… maybe liquid metal later

[@elvirmuratovic8772]

Where is CMOS battery? Cant turn on my laptop...

Does anyone know which is the cable for the screen?

[@sonpham7278]

How to remove the lcd cable and replace it?? Please help me

[@yegman]

is there a better motherboard i can replace this with that has a better gpu and cpu? also any upgrade for the cooling fans ??

[@Sellbrokedotcom]

Most likely yes, your main issue is finding what's compatible. If you find one you're interested in just make sure to pay close attention to the shape and the ports and make sure they are identical. The part numbers should also be close. Might be very hard to find though. Fans are very model specific so I doubt you have an upgrade option.

[@zeyphrenn]

Thank you for this complete review of the laptop motherboard haha ! Do you think we can build an diy external (egpu) gpu with the wifi card slot ?

[@hustlen4129]

I was wondering the same thing

[@AlphaEvan]

Can I send you my laptop and the new fans can pay you to replace them for me? I'd do it but I don't trust myself removing the heatsink

[@solo0071]

Does anyone know the screw size for the 11 small screws that hold on the bottom panel?

[@Narcotic1820]

Hi! Thank you for your video :) Could you tell me where is the CMOS ? I didn't find it....

[@triniazn]

Ok so I just replaced my fan and my laptop is not recognizing the fan. 0 rpm on CPU and 2300 on GPU. I tried putting back in the old fan and it doesn't recognize the old fan either. The old fan was working but just noisy. Hope I didn't break anything. I made sure everything was connected but no dice. Anyone know what I possibly did wrong?

[@Sellbrokedotcom]

Did you take measures to prevent static discharge? It is possible that part of the circuit was damaged when you removed the old one. You might have damaged the tiny solder connections that hold the fan connector port in place when removing, sometimes those connectors stick hard.

[@silvergem8397]

Same issue before, recheck that you didnt bent the 4 pin Lol

i spilled some tea on my keyboard and the power button is not working anymore but all the keys work how can i jump start it

hi, i have an issue with my rog srtix ii, so basically the screen glitches could it be a problem of the video cable as mentioned in the video

[@Sellbrokedotcom]

You can test that by watching the screen as you open and partially close the lid.

[@ogunbayobankole3634]

@@Sellbrokedotcom I just did that, but the screen isn't glitching at all, seems it comes periodically

[@ogunbayobankole3634]

Also i've noticed that the glitching is very active when the pc is plugged in

[@jhmmrxxx]

I'm having the same issue. I noticed that certain colors or shapes seem to trigger it a lot. Usually bright full colored screens or colored shapes that extend from one side of the screen to the other. Had any luck on this subject? I'm going crazy.
