Asus X555L Disassembly CPU GPU Thermal Paste Replacement 

People who are angry about the way I used the thermal compound, I apologize for that. I tried with the single drop method but the CPU was throttling at 90c so I used a bit more and the temperature went down to normal. Also the processor lies facing upside down and right below it is the plastic back cover. So, I guess even if it spills(which it didn't... yet) it won't be the end of the world for me or the people who followed my video. So just chill till the next episode ;) After changing the the thermal compound, max CPU and GPU temps were 75~76c under full load. 30+ fps in most of the games in low ~ med settings. Gameplay video links are in the description.

Big thanks for this video. It helped me a lot, my laptop works great again as newone and I saved money. This maintenance is required for every laptop after 2 or 3 years usage.

Lifesaver! Next time put more captions when removing certain components, I had to rewind a few times to make sure I was doing the right thing. Thanks again for this DIY video!

Thank you. This really gave me insight into what I need to do and what else I can upgrade when I am in the laptop.

"that song" me: you again...

Your film is really clear and hard-working, thank you.

Thanks a lot Buddy. My 5 year old A555L which is almost exactly a X555, would heat upto 101 degrees during gaming. Reapplied thermal paste and now it doesn't go beyond 66 degrees. Thankyou for this video!

Did it yeah!, thank you! Was the first time i oppened, cleaned and replace thermal paste, I am monitorizing temperatures of CPU and GPU, so far so good. Just, I would recomend this video for more expert users who want info about this specific laptop model, for a complete begginer like me, I had to check other videos to get hints for things like ESD, or to not blow air with my mouth on the circuit boards. I just saved around 50 USD, thank you!

Hey! My speakers not working. Could you tell the how can i remove the plastic cover on speakers?

Hey! I just got an i5 version of this notebook and i was stucked opening the keyboard part. Thanks for this video!

Thanks for posting this. It helped me a lot

3:26 that left flex is a nightmare. Really.

Thank you so much! Yesterday, I changed the thermal grease. Maybe I didn't change it your way, although I undressed and assembled the laptop!

8:40 to unplug that remaining cable(wich is the monitor, not the power), you lift the sticker and the cable can slide backwards, this video saved me time, had to switch the bottom case

Thanks man, temperatures on my laptop are almost 20c less :D

Helped me althroughout! Big thanks!

Thank you... I'll tear down my ASUS later. Your gentleness rules are an added value!

I always like videos with this song :)

Thanks, nice video, managed to do the same with my oldie :)

Thanks! This can be really useful.

cố gắng phát triển nhé anh bạn

Do you have any idea where the speaker/s are located? Mine aren't working and don't seem to be installed in Windows.

Thanks man!

If you are still using this laptop, I can give some free advice. The cable you were mentioning is not a power cable,it's Display connector. To remove it, just remove the sticker and apply a small force horizontally. But it's extremely risky and you can lose your display sensitivity.(The color might look jumbled). I have an Asus X555LN and my display was showing just arrays of RGB instead of showing what's on the pc. Moreover,my display hinge was almost broken, so I decided to detach the display totally. It really looks nice now. I use an external dell s2218h monitor and color is superb. Only problem is I have to use it as a desktop. But the cooling has improved now(I don't know why).

Hi my model is x555l the problem is no sound,and maybe y know what part i need to replace?thanks

Great video ! Could you tell me what the ribbon cable you remove at point 04:00 minutes in the video is called? the one that seats on top of the HDD/SDD? I need to replace the one I had...

Can you help me out, i bought a new case for my old one can you make a vid of how to cransfer the motherboard and all the internals to that new body?

Great video, you helped me out a lot, definitely one of the easiest laptops to take apart and clean!

This video is very helpful to me. I have X555U. Although It can't use "11a(5GHz)" then I wanna change "wlan" module someday. But it looks difficult to do.

Hey Deep Roy, what do you mean by throttling? I have a x555da Asus that kicks the fan on full blast under no load(no warm air from the exhaust). Wondering if what you did would fix it.

hey i really need your help man after dissambly my touchpad not working anymore i checked the cables and everything is fine

Hi, I know that it is not a very smart question, but, it has an mSATA port for mini SDD?

Thanks vaiya goog hoiche

Does external GPU support on this one or r558uq model.....I am looking to go for egpu....

This video helped me， because I finally found MINI PCIE socket

Thank you :)

I have an X555U and it's got an audio issue. Everytime I apply any pressure on the sound card or pick the laptop up in a certain way the audio either gets very distorted or cuts off completely. Putting it to sleep and waking makes the audio come back. I opened it up, cleaned it and screwed the sound card tighter into the board. The problem persists but its a little better. Should I try replacing the sound card?

Thanks so much

can you do a video of you upgrading the wii fii card for this lap top? It would be nice if you can show us how to upgrade it to a wii fii card compatible with 5GHz wii fii?

t'as mis beaucoup trop de pate thermique mais le reste était bien merci a toi

I have an asus x455lj. The processor on my laptop has some kind of plastic cover. Should I remove it or not?

very helpful video

Thanks👍

Nice guide. But why don't you swap the hdd and ssd. Coz the ssd on a sata II port will be very limited, unlike when you put it on the sata III port where the hdd is.

15:12 where to get that cable which is on the top of HDD on ur right hand in India?

i took all the screws out but the keyboard doesnt take off in the middle... but there are no screws in the middle. why its stuck?

I have same laptop , there is way too much crackling sound from the fan, please suggest me what to do

so sorry for different topic, but is there anyone tried to replace the sound card for A555L ?

I know this is an old video, I wonder if there's a benefit putting thermal pads on the GPU vram chips? If yes, I wonder what's the thickness? I still use my X555LB for work and casual use, I plan to switch from Gelid GC-Extreme to TPM 7950 some time in the future and apply the thermal pads on the vram chips.

Andar m ek silver color k bhi screw hai use knha lagana bhai batao to jara ?? Isi Laptop m.

Is all of Asus X555 board is the indicial one right, cuz I wanna do board swap with my Asus X555BP-XX202 that the GPU that uses 2GBs of GDDR3 and pretty slow.

thermalpads might be a good one to have changed also.

Parabéns ao profissional! Gostaria muito que aqui no Brasil fossem tão cuidadosos. No Brasil os equipamentos sempre voltam com avarias causadas pelos próprios técnicos, como arranhões e amaçados causados pelas chaves e pelo mal manuseio no geral.
