Background and Identification

The Asus X55C is a 15-inch laptop released in late 2012. It has a fairly standard configuration for a low/mid-range laptop from the time, with an Intel Core i3 processor and integrated graphics. The screen has a resolution of 1366 pixels horizontally and 768 pixels vertically. The chassis, meanwhile, is made from black plastic with some small horizontal stripes across the back of the display and the keyboard deck. All the ports—USB, HDMI, Ethernet, VGA, and audio jacks—line the left edge of the laptop while the right side sports a tray-loading DVD drive.

As for repairability, the easiest component in this laptop to access is the battery because it is only held at the back of the chassis by two simple latches. The hard drive (which can be replaced with any standard 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD) and the memory are located behind an access cover on the bottom of the laptop. The X55C comes from the factory with either 2 GB or 4 GB of memory soldered into one of the memory slots, but the other can be upgraded to hold up to an 8 GB memory card. With the exception of the wireless card, which is also found just below the access cover, removing any other components requires first unscrewing a few screws beneath the keyboard. You can use the guides here on iFixit to see this procedure in action.

To identify this laptop, look on the bottom side for a sticker containing the model number “X55C.” If you can’t find the model number, try looking instead for a serial number. You can enter the serial for the laptop on Asus’s warranty inquiry page to find your exact model.
