Introduction

Use this guide if you need to replace the motherboard in your Asus ROG G752V.

The motherboard acts as a single platform to connect all of the parts of a computer together. It serves as the computer's nervous system.

Reasons to replace your motherboard:

Physical damage to the board
If peripherals work intermittently, try using different peripherals in different ports to see if it is a bad port, bad peripheral, or bad motherboard
Computer does not post (No bios on startup)
Upgrades

Before beginning, make sure to power off your computer. Disconnect it from any external power source. Remove dust build-up with a dust blower.

ASUS ROG G752V Motherboard

Step 1

Make sure you disconnect the charger before starting this guide.
Pick out all 11 rubber plugs off of the back cover with a pair of tweezers.

Step 2

Using the Phillips #0 screwdriver, unscrew all twelve 5.2 mm screws on the back of the laptop.
There is one 5.2 mm screw under the rubber plug in the middle.

In my case, the 4 screws alongside the touchpad are smaller than the others.

Step 3

Pull up the rubber seal and the service cover will come off.

Step 4

Using the Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the six 5.2 mm screws under the service cover.

The bottom red circle should be 1/2” to the right.

Step 5

Using your hands, pull the optical drive out.

You will need a small safety pin or similar to release the CD drive tray so it can open. Look for a small hole and insert the pin into the hole and push, it should normally open the tray.

Once open, look for 3 small screws that are attached to the cover. These have to be removed so the cover can come off.

Step 6

Use the iFixit Opening Tool to pry apart the back panel from the main body of the laptop.
Start from the front side of the laptop and then continue to the side for easier access.

Step 7

Remove the hinge on the back of the laptop cover using the iFixit Opening Tool. The piece should pop off.
Be gentle with the cover because there is a speaker wire attached to it.

Step 9

Slowly pull out the keyboard while lifting it about an inch.
There are cables attached to the keyboard and motherboard. DO NOT lift it more than 2 inches above the laptop.

Step 10

Using an ESD safe tool, detach all 3 ribbon cables securing the keyboard to the laptop.
To unlock a ZIF connector, use the tip of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the small, hinged locking flap.

Do you do the same thing in Reverse lift the flap up place the ribbon down and then it's snaps?

I didn't need to disconnect the ribbons, just slide the keyboard forward a few inches for the following steps

Step 11

Once the cables are detached, lift the keyboard about 2 inches up and remove it from the rest of the body.
Make sure that the screen is open like the photo. This will ensure that none your laptop components will not be bent.

Step 12

Disconnect the battery cable from its motherboard socket by gently pulling it towards the left of the socket.
Pull parallel to the motherboard, not straight up.

Step 13

Remove two 5.8 mm screws holding the screen and the laptop located at the hinge.
This will unlatch the screen from the laptop entirely.
Remove the screen.

In my case, 6 x M2.4x9,6mm screws near the center - indicated with X stamp - and 2 x M1,9x6,6mm screws, 1 on the left hand side and the other on the right hand side.

Mine same as Jonathan’s. Total of 8 screws to remove the screen

Step 14

Remove the four 5.8 mm screws securing the battery to the laptop.

There are two different lengths of screw holding the battery. When putting it back together, the longer screws go to the rear of the computer.

Step 15

Use your hands to remove the battery.
If you're having trouble, push down on the black plastic on the screen side of the battery. This should release the battery.

The second set of wires going to the battery (shown on the right side between the tech's thumb and forefinger) are attached to a strip glued to the back of the battery. I believe it is a temperature sensor of some kind. Carefully peel it off the old battery, being careful not to bend it and press it to onto the new battery. There are two holes in the sensor strip, on at the right in the corner, another at the left end in the center. On the battery, there are two very small, hard to see alignment points to fit into those holes.

Unscrew one 3mm Philips #00 screw on the wireless card.

Throughout guides, check to make sure the markup matches the bullets.

Also, make sure to remove locate steps—what do you want the user to do with the wireless card?

Step 17

Using your hands, unlatch the wireless card by pulling it out toward the screen.
Gently wiggle the card and pull it out of the motherboard.

How should I use my hand?

Unplug the fan-motherboard connection cable.

Step 19

Unscrew and remove the three 5.8mm screws on the small circuit board to the right of the right side fan with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.
Lift up the small circuit board covering the fan and put it aside.

Step 20

Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the three 5.2 mm screws that connect the fan to the motherboard.

Step 21

With your hands, slowly and carefully lift up the right side fan.

Step 22

Carefully unlatch the left side fan cable from the motherboard.

This guide is full of mistakes, please redo it !!! not good at all.

The wifi card can stay on the mobo, and there is not always teh same screw size... Some screws can stay on the board or the place shown does not exists.... show the routing of the cables also, behind the screen....
