1. Remove the bottom plate

If you want to take the laptop apart, naturally the first thing you need to do is to remove the bottom plate. It is held in place by 9 Torx-head screws and two Phillips-head ones – hidden beneath the back rubber feet. To remove the feet, you need a plastic pry tool and some bravery. Keep in mind that the glue is rather strong and you would need to use some force.


2. Battery

Battery-wise we are talking about a 50Wh unit. Essentially, this is the first thing you need to unplug after you open your laptop up.


3. Memory and storage

Sadly, you won’t be able to upgrade the memory on your notebook, as it is all soldered to the motherboard. Thankfully, though, there is one M.2 slot for storage expansion and it supports PCIe x4 drives. Additionally, this device has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 support.


4. Cooling system

After you have removed the bottom panel, you can take a closer look at the cooling solution. It uses only one, yet pretty bulky heat pipe to cool down both the CPU and the GPU.

I bought ASUS ZenBook Flip i7 14 InchUX463 with 12GB SSD, 16GB RAM. But I can’t find e-manual on the Internet. While I was trying to open the screen with incorrect ? login code the screen went black, I can still move the cursor around but can’t get the screen back on the laptop. Can’t switch off the laptop either. Can you help?
