Repair Asus Laptop Disassembly A53 Series X53S K53SV A53S Fan Cleaning 

For those who are afraid of opening the laptop because all the screws. It's not that complicated. There are only 5 types of screws on the laptop. 1)black screws - they are on outer shell and below the keyboard. They are interchangeable, so don't worry if you mix them up. They amount for the largest part of the screws. 2) thick black screws. There are only two of these screws they go on the outer shell near where the battery is. 3) tiny black screws. There are 4. One of them is located below the hard drive and three of them go below the DVD ROM. 4) Silver screws. They go on the mother board. They are interchangeable. Only put them on the places that have arrows on the motherboard. The heatsink is hold by some of these screws too. 5) Fan screw. There is only one of these. Is black but is less thicker than the black screws. Also you don't really need to disconnect the ram or the WiFi card to get the motherboard out. Also if you don't get any display after assembly its probably the RAM. You gotta press those pins harder. My laptop didn't do any beeps so don't think that if it doesn't beep then the Ram is well placed. If the comment was helpful give it a thumbs up so everyone can see it. PS: keyboard was the HARDEST part for me to take out. So try to see if everything works before putting it back on. You don't need the keyboard for the computer to function normally.

Thank you so much! Great video, I just did it myself easily with your help! After 8 years of dust accumulation I was having a serious trouble keeping the computer at normal temperatures. Much better now, works perfectly and no felft over parts!

It took me 90 minutes to open A53S, clean the fan and change the thermo paste, and without video I would not have been able to do that! Thanks a lot! It saved me time and money.

Just finished cleaning my laptop. I was watching You on my phone step by step, screw by screw :) . Found so much dust that air couldn't go through which was making lap HOT. Put everything back together, no screw neither part left :P Everything working good. Thank You for help and for making me happy due to doing it all by myself.

Thanks man, I followed ur vid and my laptop still works after I put it back together! Only issue is I have like five leftover screws tho and I don't know where they came from...

Thank you very much for this guide. I was able to follow along and ultimately be able to re-apply thermal paste, aswell as cleaning the heat sink. - Results: (exact model = X53SV-SX437V) Before: 60c idle temp (WITH HIGH FAN SPEED) ~3800 rpm. After: 50c idle temp (WITH VERY LOW FAN SPEED) ~2200 rpm. After: 70c under load with ~3800 rpm. - Now this rather big improvement is most likely also due to the previous "professional" who serviced the machine, applying thermal paste incorrectly. There seemed to be missing thermal paste in the middle of the cpu. Again, thank you for this video.

Thank you very much for this video. It was very helpful when my wife's computer had a glitchy dc port. Your video and some soldering solved the issue!

cok ise yaradi. hersey adim adim gosterilmis. deneyecek olan olursa tavsiyem: laptoptan arka kapak cikarken 2 tane kalin vida cikiyo. cd okuyucuyu cikarttiktan hemen sonra 3 tane vida sokuyoruz onlar kisa vidalar bundan haric hepsi standart vida fakat anakartin kendi vidalarinida bisey olur diye ayri tuttum. son olarak fani sogutucudan ayirirken dikkat!!!!!!!: sogutucuyla fani birbirine tutturup yalitimini saglayan bir bant ve dahilinda bir cubuk sunger var eger daha once buna benzer bi isleme tabii olmadiysa laptopunuz o bantlar eskidir ( ben de oyle oldugu icin sikinti yasadim ) ve o bantlari sokerken ya yerine alternatif bulun ya da dikkatli sokun en azindan bi parcasi sogutucunun ustunde kalsin fan en kotu ihtimal ile vidalar ile yerine oturuyo ama sogutucunun ustundeki dalgamatiklerin etkisini bilemem ben hepsini soktum bok oldu oylece tekrar topladim. suan bi sikinti yok ve purussuz calisiyo. bir de yerine otyrmayan bise olursa dikkat edin kablolari ezmeyin hersey ustunde ince calisin batarya milimetrik bi kaymadan oturu suan yerine cuk diye oturmuyo ama sikinti yok. eski halindan 10 kat daha sessiz calisiyo. sessiz odada uyumadan dinleyeceginiz bir ninni turunden ses iste . ilk aldiginiz zamanki gibi. yapana kolay gelsin simdiden. eger isinize yararsa yorum atin paylasim yapin insanlar cile cekmesin amk.

I just followed everything step by step and I cleaned my fan with accumulated dust. Thank you so much for this amazing guide...

Excellent video! Every step is very well captured and the HD quality allowed me to see every detail. My laptop is not overheating anymore :)

You are a top man. My Asus K53SC has been overheating for ages. I knew I had to clean the fan, but was dreading it. What a helpful video, job was a breeze. Thank you so much for taking the time to upload this video. All the best Tony

I cleaned my Asus k53s today and I'm happy with the result. I was little confused because I accidentally put some screws in the wrong gaps wich created problems but I set it back right. In the beginning when I turned on my laptop again the fan made more noise than before I disassembled it, but that was only for a short time. After a few minutes and some heavy load benchmark tests the fan spun a little faster and began running smoothly. Now in idle mode my laptop is more quiet and the fan spins like it was new 3 years ago. Also the pile of dust that I removed makes the heat sink cool down in seconds!

Thanks man, cleaned my fan today and added an SSD to my K53SV, your video made my life easier. I was surprise how clean your fan is, mine was a total warzone !

muchas muchas muchas PERO QUE MUCHAS GRACIAS amigo sin tu video no podría haber desmontado mi asus a53sj. muchisimas gracias, me a sido de gran ayuda. despues de 5 años sin abrirlo necesitaba urgentemente una gran limpieza

Super Arbeit! Dank dieses Videos habe ich mitbekommen, warum der Laptop meiner Tochter nach einer Säuberung nicht mehr anlief. Ich hatte ein Kabel (unter einem Klebeband) mit dem Deckel abgezogen! Nachdem ich es wieder drangemacht hatte lief der Laptop wieder.

Thanks for this, followed the video to clean my fan, it went perfect! Thanks again, great video, no annoying music or someone talking over it!

About halfway through disassembling/reassembling this video has helped so much thanks j500. I really appreciate the simple instruction without dialogue. Took me a bit longer than 24 minutes XD

Terrific instruction video, I was just able to upgrade my cpu from a i5 2450M to a i7 2670QM and was easily able to get to the cpu (and clean the fan at the same time) by simply following the step by step. Thank you!

Tausend Dank! Ein sehr gutes Video! Besonderst toll, dass extra genau gezeigt wird wo die besonders kleinen und dicken hin müssen. Ich habe die Gelegenheit genutzt und dem Laptop dann noch die I7 CPU verbaut und den Ram erweitert :D

My touchpad had stopped working on my ASUS K53SC connector recently. Saw this and plugged out and in the touchpad connector and woho. It's working! :) Thanks!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Now my pc doesn't spit all that hot hair immediately after turning it on, that was for such massive amount of dust in it. Definitely the best tutorial in all YT ;)

Thanks for the explanation; I applied it for the first time for a seven year old laptop. It was like the first day.

Excellent and clear - helped me resuscitate an old laptop by putting in a new motherboard. Great to have the reassembly part.

Thanks man, I did it according to your steps and everything was perfect, now the laptot cools much better and it won't turn off

Thank you! I followed your video; step by step and Fix the sound on my computer! The plug was out! Thanks again!!!! 😄😄

I had this playing in the background while I posted an ad on gumtree for this laptop, and I thought I was just playing an ASMR video before I went back to the tab and realised it was this haha. This would be great ASMR.

Thanks a ton! This laptop has got to be the worst one I have ever seen to take apart for repairs. This video really helped

good video. I like how gentle you are and you don't force anything. Big job to do the fan.

Took 2 hours but now my fan can work normally, thanks :D

Yay, was able to make my pc work just like it did 9 years ago. Thank you

Many many thanks for your Video!!! I had to solder a new power jack into my ASUS already twice and with your Video I didn't need to trial and error which screws are where and when to loosen!

Asus and other laptop manufacturers seriously need to be innovative in their laptop designing. All these hassles just to brush off dirt from the fan? Dirt clogging on the fan is the reason why laptop become overheating and slow, and worst dead laptop. So Why cant they just design one easy access for user to take out fan, clean it, and attach it back

Very good video! I could not figure out how to access the fan safely without your help.

Thanx to for all Comments...

My Thanks, this led me through the disassembling and reassembling process perfectly, I was replacing a faulty "Power In" jack, thank you so much your lead was perfect.

It works perfectly! U just forgot to put HDD back and u also missed one screw. Definitely recommend it! Thx.

One BIG thank you for your cleaning guide for this notebok (K53SV)

Thanks to this video i could take my laptop apart with no other help. Much apreciated!

thanks so much , i have open my k53 SJ.. install thermal paste and cleaning fan. totaly your video is great... correct to all drivers

great video, took me like 4 hours but my pc works great and with win 10 it is perfect, thank you for the tutorial

Good video, after cleaning and changing thermal paste now laptop runs as new...Thanks!!! ;)

Thanks for the video :) Ended up ripping the tape holding the fan to the vent by accident but I replaced it with electrical tape instead. Hopefully it will do the job.

Excellent video, thanks a lot for your help. I just cleaned my laptop, and everything went smoothly. Great job.

you are a life saver! super informative and clear - i was able to follow with no problems whatsoever.

Thank you very much for the tutorial. Thumbs up! By the way, after 14:30 you missed one of the mainboard screws. The middle one at the bottom of the picture.

Gracias. Tenía el disipador lleno de polvo y se me recalentaba el pc, gracias a tu video me he atrevido a abrirlo y limpiar el disipador y cambiar la pasta térmica. Se ha reducido la temperatura más de 20 o 30º, y el ventilador ya no trabaja constantemente a tope. Saludos.

Thanks very much. Really great hepful video. Just what I needed to resolve no sound from speakers on X53 Laptop. The repairer that replaced motherboard forgot to attach the Speaker cable. We now have sound again :-)

Thank you very much - helped a lot!!! I needed to change the power jack and your disassembling was very helpfully!

Thank you very much! I cleaned my K53S but not until 3rd time everything worked just fine.

Thank you so, so much for this tutorial! The fan on my Asus is all clean and neat and works perfectly now ;) This video was a great help.

Thanks for your help. Only one extra screw. It's working again.

Il miglior video che abbia visto finora

Pretty good video :) Great job and it gave us the confidence to pen our's and clean it out after 7 years ... and then put it back again :) Thanx again.

Thanks a lot for this video... II repaired my laptop by watching this video...

Instructions are very clear. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your support man!! Helped me out a lot :)

Thanks for the awesome video! At first, I blew some air in the fan from the outside, is it possible that the dust got into the copper pipes?

very nice work man. my laptop now runs just like new one. thanks for your help

Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this tutorial. Appreciate it! :)

Thankyou, good tutorial. Cleaned out a wall of dust from my fan

thank you, I have just cleaned my fan. Big help

Hi, great video. The only thing I would consider to include is the tool list because I don't want to get to the middle of the job and then I am missing a tool.

Best video ever. Good job. Thank you very much !!!

Thanks, I changed yet paste on the CPU and graphics card. Temperature processor 20 degrees Celsius lower. I used the paste ARCTIC MX-4 I saved $ 40.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. I just don't have the confidence to do all this because, with my 76 YO memory, I'd forget how half the stuff went back, especially all the screws - LOL!

Very helpful video. Could you write me is it possible to replace the touchpad only? I have some issue with it as it oes not work not at all for some time. I was courious is it possible to fix that?

Thanks, very good job and video,you are a number one🙋👍

Thanks, worked out, as I have expected since I haven't cleaned the fan for five years, there's a mustache-sized dirt inside of it xD

Thanks for your vid. Very detailed just that I find it too much hassle just to reach the fan and worried I have leftover screws after I assembled everything lol.

Thanks, was very helpful. .I just followed every step of you..but now I have 3 screws left..Is it a big problem?

Thank u very much . i did it.. hi from Turkey

Thanks buddy , that was a lot of help

Good video, far better than the ifixit guide. For that you get a like and a subscribtion :)

Good job, you're a expert.

You are The Best! Thank You so much!

i have the exact same laptop as in this video, i alrdy changed the harddrive to a SSD but i still feel its alittle slow and the CPU gets up to 80-100% usage very fast, if i want to upgrade the CPU what CPU do you suggest?

Thank you very much my brother.You helped me a lot!

Hello. I have Asus A43S, does this tutorial work for that series as well? I think their structure are pretty much the same. Thanks.

Hello, i would like to know what kind of Gloves the repair man is using? OF what kind of material is it made, and where can i buy those? Are they ESD safe ? Thanks in advance, the videos are very usefull!!

Hi. My laptop was suffering from a loose charging port and I had it fixed in a repair shop. Now that I have it back, it seems the internal speakers are not working. My headphones are, though. What could have they missed in the reassembly? Thanks.

I just wanted to clean it up a lil bit but it took more than a my whole life omg

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.

Cool Video :) I´m using an Asus X53SV but I would like to change my i72630QM ...Do you know what cpu I can install for a better performance?

great tutorial dude. i have one questipn. my screen turned black after rebooting. how can i fix this? everything else seems to be running smooth. i hear no sounds..btut it is just the black screen. i cant do anything now

This video helped a lot! Thanks much!

Thank you Bro!! TOP!! Is perfect and simple

do we really need to take out the hdd to clean the fan? mine is making loud noises and I really need to clean it up, but I dont wanna take out the hdd

I am very grateful for this video!

Thank you sooo much for the video! It has helped a lot!!

thank you, good descriptive video, helped me a lot!

I have a question, does the nvidia card can be replace by another one ?

Thank you so much! My friend asked me to clean his 5 years old Asus laptop because it was too hot, the fan went all the time and it wasn't cleaned so far. I fixed it and It works properly now :) Btw. What"s the name of that plastic thing with which you open the case at 6:15 ? I want to buy it because recently I repair laptops.

What tools did you use to make the disassembly?

I wish I had watched your video before my disassembly. Fumbled with the clips that hold the ribbons in. I broke one. Any suggestions on a source for those little off white clips for my a53z?

the issue i have with videos on cleaning or replacing fans most times they only use regular electrical tape to seal the fan to the duct that will be a BIG mess in the future where do we get the actual thermal sealing pads?

Hello boss..as per your experience is it able to replace GPU for this model? please replay Actually i have nvddmkm.sys and dpc watchdog vioalation BSODs happening frequently. By this i need to know is it able to replace GPU and is it available in market? also if able to replace is it fix these problems? Please replay for the both Thanks in advance Anshad

*OMG..........all of that and the million screws just to get to the fan? Maybe Asus should watch this and just make a panel on the bottom where that fan is so you can clean it or replace the damn thing instead of major surgery! I would lose a few screws at least. How about you stop by my place and take care of mine for me? So far I have been using this high-tech trick.....I tap that corner just above the ESC key with my TV remote so it stops the buzzing fan for hours.......well so far anyway >:-P*

Super Video, hat mir sehr geholfen. Vielen Dank.

So all the 53 series regardless of k a etc are in fact k53sv's?? Because that's the only board type i've seen and i have 4 k53sj's.

Excellent you helped me and my friend
