Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Step 1: Opening the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 FX607 (2024)Power off the laptop and place it on a clean, flat surface. Remove 12 Philips-head screws from the bottom panel. Note that the screw in the lower right corner is captive and will slightly lift the panel to start the prying process. Use a plastic tool to gently pry the sides and then the back of the panel to fully remove it.Step 2: Battery RemovalDisconnect the battery by detaching the connector from the motherboard.
