    • Remove the following Phillips #0 screws from the lower case:

    • Six 9 mm screws

    • Four 11 mm screws

    Screws are 9mm instead of 90mm.

    Also the 2 screws in the back corner (screen attachement side) have a slighlty bigger diameter (9mm in length as well) so they are not to be mixed with others 9mm lenght screws.

    thank you, thank you for your comment. It's the only place on the entire www that makes that clarification.

    says remove 10 screws (SCREW M2.5*8L, SCREW M2*12L, SCREW M2*9L) on the bottom case.

    It looks like there was an image of which was which but it’s not showing for me!!

    A base screw pack for Asus x555l laptop on eBay says: The pack contains 2x8mm 4x12mm 4x9mm !!

    Just wondering where is 11mm located? Is it on the middle? And the rest of 9mm are on the corners?

    • Use the plastic opening tool to separate the top cover from the laptop.

    • Start by prying on the front of the laptop.

    • Continue prying around the cover and end just under the screen to release the front cover.

    • Do not fully remove the top cover, it is attached by two ribbon cables that will be disconnected in the following steps.

    On my X555LA there seems to be a center snap or two that won't release. Edges are all free on all sides, but somewhere in the middle it's tied down with no give.

    It finally came loose, after one of two center snaps broke. It seems you are supposed to push the bezel slightly back towards screen as you start to lift it. Lift it too much at first, and they catch vigorously.

    Yes I encountered this problem as well, there are 2 very annoying clips at the center of the keyboard, a little force will be required to release them.

    Nathan Early - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    Actually, after this step there’s a shortcut: go to step 7 (skip 3-6), don’t disconnect the ribbon cable, just peel it off the HDD carefully, move the board aside. Go to step 8, instead of “lifting” slide HDD out. Skip step 9.

    Saves at least 10 minutes and avoids disconnecting cables that don’t need to be disconnected.

    • To release the ZIF latch, flip up the small white tab.

    • The connector may have a white base with a small grey rotating latch.

    • Pull the white ribbon cable out of the socket to disconnect it.

    • Very little force should be required to pull out the cable.

    • To release the ZIF latch on the keyboard cable, flip the grey rotating tab up.

    • Gently pull the black and blue ribbon cable out of its connector.

    Beim wieder Zusammenbauen bekomme ich die Lasche nicht wieder verankert, sie hat keinen Halt.. wird sie eingeklemmt oder funktioniert das irgendwie anders? Danke!

    this step can be omitted: you can remove the disk even without disconnecting the black and blue ribbon cable out of its connector.

    giulia lizzani - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    This step can be omitted if you can prop the keyboard up and get access to the disk screws with a screwdriver, not entirely easy.

    It’s probably best to release the ribbon cables. Flip up the narrow grey clamps, up beyond the vertical, and slip the cables out.

    To put them back in, keep the clamp strips up, then push the flat cables in. They go in 4 or 5 mm. Then rotate the clamp strips back down. Give a gentle tug on the cables to make sure they’re firmly held.

    • You can now fully remove the keyboard and front panel to gain access to the inside of the laptop.

    front panel and keyboard is saprate item ?

    or

    single item

    And how do you replace the actual keyboard - that's the key point missing here!

    Darren Wogan - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    The keyboard and palm rest seem to need to be replaced as a single item. What about the mouse pad - this is a separate item, held on by three screws, which may well need to be swapped from the old keyboard and palm rest combination. However no mention is made of that here - why not? I thought IFixit was normally meant to be good with this sort of thing.

    Darren Wogan - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    P.S. I bought a combined item (don’t even think about trying to do the keyboard alone). The mousepad does potentially need to be separated from the old keyboard rest and transferred to the new item. There are 3 screws to be undone - though these can be fiddly and stiff. Anyhow, mine was successfully replaced using this approach, including swapping the mousepad over as described.

    Nice that you posted a few pics, but you need at least a dozen more to really show people how to open this laptop. Getting outthe motherboard is not recommended for rookies!

Could use some more steps on how to removed completely, including the touch-pad.

Can this be revised soon with more steps and pics? Please.

I need to replaced this keyboard because I have some non-working keys.
