Background and Identification

The Asus K550L—also known by the longer name “VivoBook K550L”—is a 15-inch laptop released around the year 2013. It is quite similar to the Asus X550L, so if you can’t find a guide on this page for the component you’re working on, try checking the iFixit X550L page. Both laptops have a chassis made out of plastic with small circular rings on the back of the display rippling out from the Asus logo at the center. The keyboard has a full numpad to the right of the alphanumeric section, and the trackpad is positioned slightly off-center below the spacebar.

Most components in the laptop use industry standards and can be swapped fairly easily. The battery can be removed via a latch holding it in place at the back of the laptop, while other common parts like the memory and hard drive are located behind a panel on the bottom which is held in place by two Phillips screws. The laptop can use up to 16 GB of memory in the two accessible SO-DIMM slots and will accept any standard 2.5-inch SATA drive as a replacement for the original hard drive if it should fail.

To identify this laptop, look on the bottom for stickers containing information about the device. The easiest situation would be to look for a line on one of the stickers that gives the model number “K550Lxx” with the trailing xxxx… representing the exact hardware configuration. Otherwise, look for a serial number and enter it on Asus’s warranty check webpage to find your laptop model.
