Einleitung

This is a step-by-step walkthrough on how to remove the motherboard from an ASUS Republic of Gamers STRIX GL702VS laptop. If it has been determined that the motherboard is failing, consult this guide for removal and replacement. Common issues include boot failures such as CPU or GPU initialization failure on startup. Reference iFixit troubleshooting guide here to help determine the issue. The part number for a new motherboard will vary based upon your desired CPU, GPU and RAM.

Remember, computer components are fragile. Be careful with clips and wiring when disassembling and reassembling the computer. They can easily break or get pinched. It may also be helpful to take a picture of wiring routing and component placement before disassembly as a reference for reassembly. Note that there are multiple screw lengths in this application. Pay attention to their locations.
