Einleitung

Should you find yourself needing to increase storage capacity or experiencing a faulty Solid State Drive (SSD) in your Asus ROG Strix GL702VM-BHI7N09 gaming laptop, this guide will be useful. The SSD is vital for system operation and is required for storing the programs and operating system on your computer.

Schritt 1

Flip the laptop over to the back panel, with the serial numbers facing up.
Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove the ten 12 mm screws from the back panel.

Schritt 2

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

Schritt 3

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.
