hey my katana gf76 12uc doesnt come with ssd sata slot mounted in the motherboard but they gave it separately on the box hdd upgrade kit , does that mean i can actually put sata by shouldering it manually or where did you plug it in?

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

There should be a connector on the motherboard

[@tannerwhitehead3634]

Does anyone know what screw driver is required to unscrew the one that's all the way on the right in the middle? I was able to use the same screw driver to take out literally every screw except for that one. So i can't take the back off because there's one screw that won't come out. I've tried to find out what exact screws the laptop uses but haven't found any answers.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

amzn.to/42pElq1 this should have what you need. If it doesn't, then you likely stripped it.

Any chance you'd give some insight on how one would change the fans on this model? I have an issue where a fan is giving out and vibrating / failing to spin properly, I want to replace it myself but from what I can see it looks like those heatsinks are locking the fans in place and I think I wouldn't be able to replace the fan because of them?

What I'd like to know with this model is how to replace the keyboard. Tons of people seem to have a problem with this models keyboard and so do I. But there's basically nothing on how to fix that when keys die.

I have to use an external keyboard with mine. I bought a replacement keyboard, but I have yet to see any way to install it. What were they thinkng when they designed this laptop? If you try to remove individual keys to clean it.. forget it, they break very easily.

I wound up buying a new motherboard! The ethernet port was not reliable, one speaker ws buzzing, and the battery would not keep a charge for more than 3 minutes. When the Katana is operating as it should, it is great, but it is too fragile and falls apart quickly. Also, the keyboard cannot be repaired, and is hell to replace.

I have the same computer but the biggest isue of this computer that I have that it's cpu overheats. I dont know if it's of the liquid being dry or if the fans don't do enough work. But while I play games on it and if the fps or graphics are way too much for the computer to handle it starts to flick. What I mean the screen just starts to flick black and back to the game and again back to black and it does that till i change the fps and graphics. Well it seems it's reallly hard to get the cpu out and reattach with new liquid. P.S. I'm kinda a newbie at computers so what I mean by liquid it's a special one that glues the cpu. I have no idea what it's called. But thank you for the video that you made a year ago lol. It was helpfull!

How would you like it if I took your computer completely apart just to make a video for others, when all you asked me to do was reinstall windows? There are risks involved. I can't just mess around with people's stuff like that, and even if was mine, I wouldn't risk damaging it taking it completely apart unless necessary.
