Adding a SSD or second HDD to a Asus N73J laptop.

Use a small flathead screwdriver or the flat end of a spudger to gently push down the five pins just above the top row of keys that secure the keyboard to the laptop.

Slowly tilt the keyboard towards the front but not too far as the flat cable is still connected.

With a spudger carefully unlock the socket by pushing the white part to the left. Pull the ribbon cable straight out of its socket.

(For a clear view the photo shows where to push after the cable was already removed; push both from upper side as bottom side of the socket.)

Remove these seven screws with a JIS #1 (or PH 1) to unlock the back cover.

Here you can see the slot for an extra RAM module.

When finished close the laptop and turn it over.

Open the back cover to get access to:

the HDD-bays

the RAM modules

the WiFI module

If you haven't done so already now is the time to mount your SSD or HDD in the caddy.

Gently slide your new SSD/HDD in the empty HDD bay. And do not forget to secure it to the body of the laptop with a few screws.
