Einleitung

Use this guide to replace the left SSD on your ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HEB-DB74.

Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. If you are replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

Be sure to completely power off and unplug your laptop. Make sure the laptop is not in standby, sleep, or hibernation mode.

Werkzeuge

Ersatzteile

Schritt 1

Remove the 11 Phillips screws securing the lower case:
Seven 11.6 mm screws
Two 14.6 mm screws
Two 6.1 mm screws

Schritt 2

Insert an opening pick between the lower case and the chassis on the front right edge.

Schritt 3

Slide the pick along the right edge to release the clips securing the lower case.

Schritt 4

Continue sliding the opening pick along the perimeter of the lower case to release the remaining clips.

Schritt 5

Lift the lower case from the chassis and remove it.
During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down before you continue working.

Schritt 6

Use your fingers to move the plastic that covers the battery connector out of the way.
If the plastic is not staying out of the way use a piece of tape to secure it.

Schritt 7

Use the flat end of a spudger to push each side of the battery connector until it comes out of the socket.

Schritt 8

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 3.6 mm screw securing the left SSD and its cover.

Schritt 9

Slide the SSD cover off of the SSD by grabbing the edges near the screw indent and pulling away from the SSD.

Schritt 10

Pull the SSD out of its socket and remove it. Keep the SSD as parallel to the motherboard as possible when pulling on it.
Do not pull up at a sharp angle, as this could damage the SSD and the socket.
