Einleitung

This is a step by step process for a key replacement guide on a ASUS GL752VW-DH74 keyboard when the key pressed will not be read on the computer screen. Either the keys on the keyboard are worn out from use, or they can get cluttered with dust, crumbs, or debris, which will conflict when typing. Sometimes proper cleaning and regular maintenance can deter this problem, if not, then replacing the keys may be necessary.

    • Begin by putting the needle into the hole in the disk tray.

    I want to point out that in order to do this step you have to remove the screw holding the CD drive in place first. On top of this if the screw is out very light pulling on the drive will remove it. There is no need for a pry tool or a needle to eject it. To make it easier on yourself I would actually do step 5 first and just be done with all the screws before you take out the CD screw (Which, by the way, step 5 is shown with the CD drive still attached and screwed in which can cause confusion and possible damage if not careful/paying attention).

    • Use the spudger to help ease out the disk drive.

  3. 1rwPZVokgvfAjkF1

    • Pull out disk tray entirely.

    I was not able to extract the DVD drive until unscrewing the .8 screw central on the back of the laptop. That one holds the DVD drive.

    You have to also remove the screw securing the DVD drive to the case.

    • Unscrew both 8mm phillip's head screws that hold on the access gate.

  5. ytHdurIPrPuWvNLQ

    • Use either the your finger, the screw driver, or a spudger to pop out the gate.

  6. AWLrHMGWvW6LqaDV

    • From here, you can access the hardrive, motherboard, SSD, and RAM.

  7. TndJJVbiBrylrRvB

    • Remove the 4mm screw holding in the SSD.

    • Note that the screw is holding it down so it will pop up once the screw is removed.

  8. QCgYbACHdYQQqXUb

    • Remove SSD from slot.

    for god sake this is ssd not ram

    • Start by unplugging the laptop and turning it upside down. There are 3 screws in the disk drive, remove those using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

  10. dKG1ZWbnl3Adxofi

    • Remove the medium sized panel attached on the back. Then using your Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove all 8 screws.

    Remove the TWO recessed screws above the RAM and the one screw below and to the right of the large button battery.


    Then you need to remove the SATA Laptop Hard Drive or SSD on the left by removing its 4 screws and gently pulling it all the way left before lifting.

    • Remove the entire large back panel (outer shell) by removing the screws closer to the outer edge.

    • Use the blue opening tool to gently separate the back panel by loosening it on all sides to ease the outer shell of the laptop until it separates.

  13. MWqBdAfDyvPZfPFO

    • Gently lift the outer shell up until the white, gold and silver power strips are visible. Proceed by removing the strips from the bottom side of the keyboard. Finish removing the outer shell.

  14. 5gyk3k2D1FLgVNvF

    • Remove the two Phillips #0 screws located on the panel above the white power strip.

    There's actually 4 of them.

    • Gently take off the metal keyboard cover by using the blue opening tool.

    As this cover is plastic welded in place, it isn’t possible to replace the cover without glueing it down?

    Gary Fox -

    You need a soldering gun to do this step. Melt the black pins with a soldering gun!

This is an extremely useful tutorial for those who have patience and curious to learn. Excellent job by the authors. Thank you.

This guide needs more work. The metal keyboard has small black pins that keep it in place. They will need to be melted by a heating/soldering gun, and then remelted to keep the new keyboard in place.

This guide is incomplete. You will require a soldering pencil to reattach the new keyboard to its metal backing plate and the laptop faceplate. It could also be useful in releasing the old keyboard from the backing plate and faceplate. if you are slow and cautious it will probably take you 90 to 120 minutes to complete. 40 minutes is only if you have done this type of keyboard before.

Also read the comments regarding the access bay screws that need to be removed during disassembly and remember to remove the sata drive as well.
