Background and Identification
The Asus K43SA is a 14-inch laptop released in the early 2010s. It has a black plastic chassis with subtle horizontal stripes across the back of the display. The trackpad has two buttons at the bottom for left and right click. Internally, the laptop uses a 2nd-generation Intel Core i5 or Core i7 paired with an AMD Radeon graphics card to power the 1366x768 pixel screen.
As for repair and disassembly, the easiest component to access is the battery because it can be removed by unlocking a clasp at the back of the device. Further components are hidden behind a cover on the bottom of the laptop that is held on with two screws. The hard drive in the K43SA is a standard 2.5-inch SATA drive, so you can easily replace it with any other standard drive if yours fails. The laptop can accept up to 8 GB of total memory in the two accessible slots on the motherboard. Further repairs require removing the keyboard and optical drive.
To identify this laptop, look on the bottom cover for a sticker containing either the model number “K43SA” or a serial number. If the sticker only has a serial number, you can enter it in the Asus warranty status checker to find the exact model of your device.
