Einleitung

The motherboard is a critical part of any computer, housing the central processor unit that data flows through. The Asus ROG Strix GL702VM-BHI7N09 gaming laptop is no exception and cannot function without a working motherboard. The guide below displays how to properly replace this component. Before starting the replacement of the motherboard, it is important to have some prior background knowledge about the components of a gaming laptop. It is also vital to power off the device, remove it from any external charging cable and disconnect or remove the battery prior to beginning the repair.

    • The snap seals don't need a lot of pressure to open, and may break if forced. Be gentle with the opening tool.

    • Wedge the sharp edge of the plastic opening tool into the seam between the back panel and the rest of the laptop, then gently pry the panel up.

    • There will be a snapping sound as you remove the back panel, but that is just the seal loosening.

    • Continue breaking the seals by sliding the plastic opening tool around the entire laptop under the seam until the back panel is free.

    • Once you have broken all the seals, carefully lift the panel off.

    To make sure you don’t damage your board it’s necessary to unplug the main battery

    • Unplug the battery from the motherboard.

    It’s not always a simple matter of pulling. Some connectors have clips that engage and you can break the connector pulling it without pressing on the release points… It would be helpful if you had a video showing the various types of connectors you might run into and demonstrated the proper way to disconnect them.

    Agreed just broke mine

    You also want to make sure you don't pull up on the connector. You want to pull straight back. I lifted up on mine and broke the connector. My battery no longer charges.

    It's poorly designed and more than likely on purpose.

    VERY IMPORTANT:

    The battery connection on the motherboard has a small metal sheath that slides back, which will allow you to remove the connector without breaking anything. The metal piece slides back and forth to secure the battery connector, so to remove and insert the new battery, the metal sliding piece has to be slid back, then you can gently remove the connector without breaking the plastic part attached to the motherboard. Mine didn't move that much, maybe a millimeter or so, just enough to give clearance to remove the connector from the interlocked plastic parts.
