A video cleaning up the fans?
Gotta say thanks for this. I have a GL703VM and this is not the 1st ROG laptop I've had and my previous was super hard to take apart to get at the fans. As someone who smokes and has long hair, this is very important. Smoking around fans makes everything stick to them, so a can of air is about as useless as pouring my coffee on the laptop. Been putting it off cleaning the fans dreading taking it apart (because of my older laptop experiences) and this helped allot.
Ordered this laptop from you guys! Awesome video and thanks for teardown for my future upgrades and repastings!!!
Hey! Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback. We hope you like your new laptop!
Cleaning up my GF's laptop- this model.
Was shocked how easy it was to disassemble; for repasting the fans.
Thanks for the vid
Don't break the flap thing like he did, you can use it to open the first compartment. if you don't have a guitar pick a spoon works just as good.
Youre the Bob Ross of Computers, thanks Man!
Thanks for this video. I was able to open my laptop up and add another RAM stick using this as a reference
@O JJ I would verify the model using CPU-Z. I have a GL703GE and the RAM model was M471A2K43CB1-CTD.
Thanks you helped me a lot. I sucessfully removed dust from fan. 😄
Thankyou for making this video, I need to replace my wifi/bluetooth chip and you showed where it was located :)
sooo helpful thank you so much, subscribed!
You're sooo welcome, thanks for subscribing!
Great video. Still can't figure out how to get the charging port out to replace
Ok, I just got home from Costco with my new GL703GE ($1000 plus tax!). Searched the web to find out if I just screwed up or not. I think I'm in love!
Watched your video, man you have some honkin' skillz! But: SPEAK UP! You're not talking about your porn collection. I want to learn more this machine and I'm choosing you to teach me. But if I can't hear what you're saying, kinda tough to learn stuff, ya know?
Your camera work is primo, great positioning and no vomit-inducing pans. Thanks.
I know this sound thing is my problem (getting old sucks sometimes but it beats death by a lot!) but I need your help to fix it. And yes I know about the volume control, but there was a lot of background noise (and a lapel mic would help that).
I will like and subscribe when I finish here, but if I don't come back you'll know why.
Good job my friend, thanks for the effort and brain food.
Would 100% agree - was a real bargain with their $300 off black Friday sale. Its a great laptop. Only bad thing is the battery does not last long.
Great video - liked and subscribed. I need some help as I'm new to customising laptops. I have the same laptop with a 1tb hdd - is there another slot where I can add an ssd and use that as master? I think it's long thin one above the hdd, but I'm not sure - if it is can you share the name of the slot because its impossible to make out on the video.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you sir for this video. Question, is it possible to mount two ssd M2 - keeping also the hd?
Hey there, would you be able to make a video on how to replace the keyboard for the ASUS ROG Strix GL703VD? My down arrow broke off of the bracket. I may be able to just replace the single key, however I might end up replacing the entire keyboard at some point since the cheapest option is purchasing an entire new backlit keyboard (rather than purchasing one single key for $10 I can have an entire replacement set for around $50). It would help me out so much! Thanks for your videos, these have been very helpful.
thanks kind sir
can you please do a short tutorial on how to repaste this model , i'm having a hard time trying to figure out which goes where
I'll save this video just in case something happens to my computer
Do you have a video about cleaning fans?
I have the GL503GE and they have put the ram in the slot that is not easily accessible which means if I want to upgrade that ram stick, I have to open the computer up.
If it was in the easy access slot I could just remove it and replace it. But because ASUS put a 8gb 1333Mhz stick inside my machine I cant find a ram chip to match the speed. So now I have to replace the ram stick inside the machine before i can even put a new stick into the easy access, also my GL503 has exactly the same setup as this machine, only apparently it has 4 memory slots. I haven't opened this yet, but your video has helped a lot thank you so much.
Thanks for this! this helped me a lot for cleaning! may I also ask if what is the specific model that i can use to upgrade my SSD? i bought my laptop with 124gb SSD and i would like to upgrade it to 1TB, what should I get?
have been looking for a legit channel that can show how to do this stuff!! great video. quick question i am trying to find a video about replacing the gpu on this model of laptop. I am looking to buy and i think I have narrowed my choice down to this one and would like to be able to upgrade later on.
Do you have a video for that procedure on this model or know of a video online that shows how? thank you!
Idk if it's still a relevant question for you but whatever. You can't replace laptop gpus. It's soldered on the motherboard. If you really want a laptop in which you can "upgrade" the gpu later on find one with a thunderbolt 3 port with 4 pci-e lanes (This is not that laptop). You can hook up an external gpu to that if you want but worth mentioning that if you want max performance from that gpu you will need an external monitor. There is a performace loss (~10-15%) if you use the laptop's built in screen.
Missing the other 2 RAM slots - I assume they're under the keyboard on the other side?
Is the fan on the HDD side of the laptop considered the CPU fan? Mine is bad and when I went to order a replacement I see that there is a CPU fan and GPU fan. Thanks for the great video.
Hey, what is the purpose of the uncovered chip right next to the wifi card? Some of the models in the strix line-up have 3rd fan to cover that chip but the old ones and hero edition usually don't have the 3rd fan.
Can you help me my gl 703vm temp is very high about 90 cpu and gpu what is the solution ?
Thank you for making this!
So am I seeing correctly that this motherboard only has one SSD drive slot? You can only replace the SSD drive with a larger drive, not add a second one for more space?
love this video it helped me decide on gaming laptop. Do you know if i can put a 512gb or maybe 1t pcie or sata ssd in this laptop and 2t sshd firecuda?
Yes.
Yep. I got the GL703VM and it's almost identical. Got 250 GB M.2 for windows and a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO Pro in the 2.5" slot.
Great review! just one question. which ram memory model does it come with? im buying this laptop and wanna do dualchannel but cant find the info about the default ram i would need...
I have the GL503GE which looks identical to this machine and it has 1333Mhz speed DDR4 SODIMM ram.
It might not be the same, but probably is. I would just buy two ram sticks and swap the old one out.
Hi! nice job! Can i ask you if is it possible to replace the video card 1050ti with another one? or is soldered to the motherboard?
Can you do the fans I need to change them thank you
Please upload tutorial how to disassembly ASUS ROG GL503VS (FAN, HEATSINK, PASTE, ETC) Thank You..
Good laptop! I'm watching right now on that laptop! Need a larger SSD size though. Not large enough for all the games. Yeah...I have around 230 gigs of games just on the SSD. Around 30 gigs only. It sounds like a decent size until you do any motion work.
This video really helped me to figure out a problem I've been having with my laptop. Turns out, I have a bad fan. :( Also turns out, it's really hard to find a replacement fan.
Did you find a replacement supplier? I think I have the same issue.
@@stevecowle4647 I did not, and Asus doesn't seem to answer any inquiries.
@@MessyhairGal ok thanks. I guess I'll contact the service center nearest me then.
Same here fan is making grinding noises. Is there any way to lube up the existing?
@@Emaregee Not easily as far as I can tell. You'd probably have to remove the entire heatsink assembly to get at them properly.
Thank you for the nice info! I want to buy this model but want to buy extra ram for dual channel. Do you happen to remember the RAM model they use?
For upgrade reference and tech geeks, it would be super useful to note in the video description the model numbers of the components (ex: RAM - 8GB Kingston 2666 CL17 KCP426SS8/8, HDD - Seagate Barracuda, 1TB, 7200RPM ST1000LM049 etc.). I'm just enumerating random models here, of course.
Depends on where you bought it, but its a 2666MHz DDR4 CL17 260-Pin SO - DIMM Laptop RAM, most likely Samsung
@@chrisoman87 most likely not Samsung since that is usually the most expensive. It most likely SkHynix.
Hey Chris, did you find out eventually about the Ram ? my ram is in the heatpipe slot not the easy access panel so I can't take it out without doing a complete teardown
Laughing Man I’
@@chrisoman87 hello if i buy an Kingston 8GB, DDR4, 2666MHz, CL19 Laptop RAM , would it be compatible with the one you said about ?
Hola, tengo la misma laptop que la suya y tengo un problema, al presionar el sector de las teclas (W-E-R-T) la laptop se reinicia, no es problema de software, tu sabes como puedo solucionar el problema?
Great video, thanks for the useful information. Where is the CMOS battery is located on GL serious laptops? I watched your video carefully and paused it when I see the whole mother board but could not locate the battery? Strix 15 GL503GE
Series*
@@ecasa69 im on the same boat. It's been a while but did you find it?
Can u do tutorial how to remove pipes and change thermal paste in cpu and gdu in asus gl702 zc
and clean fans!!!!
Hey I’m having trouble where I am constantly running high CPU I have not added anything to it or done any upgrading to it either any recommendations on what I should get or do to help perform better
What is the maximum upgrades for this model ? Like video ? 🤔
hi can you please Do video on keyboard removal my keyboard is missing 2 keys
do you think they installed ram in the easy access slot to avoid people sticking totally different ram in the easy access slot while leaving the existing ram in the harder to get to slot?
What about removing the keyboard? I may have a defective keyboard in my Asus gl503g. I turned it off and now backlit keyboard or functionally keyboard. The only thing working is my power button
hello i have a question the other slot to a ram its really another slot to another ram or not? the laptop come with 16gb of ram but i can place another ram of 16gb in the other site or is that why it is covered because you can't?
Why not relocate the RAM away from the easy access slot to the more awkward location while you were in there?
Anyway, good breakdown, many thanks. I'll be getting an ASUS GL703GE when my local store restocks.
hahahaha, that's my point too.
I'm about to break mine down to re-paste as well but I want to as if there is any reason i should not relocate the ram to free up the easy access slot? I ordered a new stick of ram and I don't want to have to take the whole underside off again. will it be ok if i move the ram to the hidden spot now?
Glad this video exists and that I saved a shortcut to it - 👀 - I bought this laptop around 3 years ago (May 2018) and it is still running nicely, although mine is the GL703GM model as I am in Asia. Just after warranty expired the battery died, swelling-up inside and bowing the mousepad overnight while I slept. That's been replaced. I'm back here again because the HDD has now died and I just wanted a refresher prior to getting out the toolkit.
Is there anyway to resit the trackpad since mine feels it has a lot of travel in the center and sometimes it doesnt respond properly when using it
Mine came super loose like that out of the box, it was my 3rd laptop that I took back because of out of the box issues so I just stuck with it. Last week the trackpad randomly stopped working(I use a mouse either way) but to solve it I reinstalled the driver. I’d like to know if there’s a fix for the loose pad!!
With the easy access panel, is dust accumulating over the fans on the panel itself an issue with this model?
I have sticky keys, I suspect some of the four arrow keys because I may have spilled something in that area .. and intermittently, it's backspacing on me. I have removed the keys and cleaned there ... I have taken the whole thing apart to try and access the keyboard from underneath ... I have taken a high-powered air compressor and blown the crap out of everything ... no luck!
Is dual channel supported ang what speed?
GL503VD i5-8250U 1050
can i use this "WD High-Performance NVMe PCIe Gen3 8 GB/s M.2 2280 Solid State Drive Black 500GB WDS500G2X0C" hard drive for upgrade?
how many ram slot are there in laptop?
2 ram slots
What type of fan is that on the left side, in line with the HDD? A CPU or GPU fan? I need to change that part because of crackling noise coming from it.
Silviu I have that same problem. I’ve kind of just gotten used to the noise now.
what gpu can i upgrade to with this laptop? and if needed which battery supports a higher output gpu?
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. I got the Rog Strix gl703vd but the aluminum back cover (screen back) is dented. I wanted to know if the 17.3 gl703ge chassis is the same as the gl703vd because I'm only getting the back replacement for the gl703ge model. Please help!!!!!
on mine, they left the easy access ram slot open and put it in the inner slot. Weird that they didn't with you.
Thank you for the video but I was looking for someone who could help me out how I could replace my LCD screen of this laptop because the Screencover is blocked by the
hinge.
Hello, do I have to unplug the battery if I want to change a RAM. Or do I have to do something particularly to software or hardware before or after... removing old RAM and place the new one?
I doubt you still want an answer but for anyone else if you switch it off with a full shutdown and its not connected to power there shouldn't be any need to disconnect the battery.
Please help is it possible to break the sshd or the cable because I think I did while taking it apart
Can you show us how to repaste CPU and gpu.. Also what would u recommend artic silver?
We'll be uploading a video next week that shows repasting the CPU/GPU. Artic Silver is a great thermal paste to use
@@empoweredpc awesome just recieved this laptop will be waiting on video lol
Computer Upgrade King Would it be possible to upgrade the gpu to a gtx 1660?
is there another 2 slots under the mother board i have this machine GL703GM and task manager says i have 4 slots
What's in front of the HDD?
The ram has only 2 slot
i bought a keyboard that matches my keyboard numbers on ribbon cable, installed it made sure everything was put back in order reconnected battery and installed the bottom then checked lights on keyboard everything seems OK but since i had it unplugged for over a month i decided to charge battery the light for it being plugged in came on. 2hrs later i turned it on for first time and nothing happened , what did i do wrong?
Could you do a video on the fan pipes and cpu and gpu assembly? If you do then could you put the link below?
how would you tell if the mother board is the asus brand?
What kind of gloves is that et where can I find one pair ?
2 reasons why they do ram like that 1 discourage ppl from doing it 2 if ppl do it they would have to be more aware of what type modules to match them rather than blindly slotting in a second and yes that does happen more often than you think lol
I see they have a Kingston 128 GB SDD. I wouold like to upgrade to 240 GB SSD card. Can you give any recomendations on compatibility? Also, I dont' think I need to remove anything but the quick access panal to replace the 128 GB SDD. Thank you.
Can i install an nvme With M Key Edge connector? Because my gl703ge has a b and m connector nvme
i have the gl503, i don't wanna open it yet cause it voids my warranty. But i do want to know one thing- my laptop has a 500GB SSD currently, can i add an HDD(or another SSD) later on in i want to expand my storage?
Assuming you open it properly and perform normal upgrades in it, it likely should not void your warranty. To make sure, however, you should contact them directly regarding that.
I have one question plz : is AHCI SATA configuration option available in bios in this model or i can disable RAID
What's in front of the HDD?
So this doesn't have a spot for second hd right? I'm trying to add add drive as master and the hdd as slave but I don't see a place I can add ssd
There is an ssd slot. Its the long one directly above the hdd.
could you tell the model/brand of the 2666hz DDR4 ram plz im confused i have that laptop wants to upgrade but it seems it is not crucial i would take the exact same RAM, please?
i guess you don't remember was 1 year ago.... the problem is the reseller says everywhere 2666 ram and crucial says 2400 when their website try to sell me stuff as compatible, but i would take the exact same CL and frequence for avoiding bugs on dual channel.
My laptop just turned off on its own. Probably battery issue. Will unplugging and plugging it again work?
How many RAM slots are available in this laptop?
And I've heard somewhere on internet that one ram is soldered on the motherboard that's why only one slot is available for upgradability
2 slots and neither is soldered on. It's in the video.
Is this the scar 3 or hero 3?
the one and only GOOD thing about the base ram being in the "easy access" slot is it allows you to quickly swap it out for a 32 gig stick if you are wanting to eventually expand it to 64 gigs...assuming ti can do that....otherwise, super dumb configuration forcing customers to open the entire back of the laptop to get to the 2nd ram slot.
Are you able to take the cpu and gpu out
I buy This Laptop, Samsung Nvme M.2, is compatibile with this?
so i have a weird problem with my GF's laptop, so this happens whether the power is plugged in or not, the laptop will keep shutting off and back on again, repeatedly, only showing a black screen the entire time, UNTIL....UNTIL i hold down ANY key, and for as long as I hold down a key, the computer will start to load giving me the RoG loading screen, ((i have a different asus model than in this video)) But if i let go of the key, the computer just shuts down and starts the whole on/off process again, but if I keep holding the key down, the computer refuses to load windows, and says simply that the computer couldn't start windows, then wants us to use the system restore, when we try to do that, it just attempts repairs....forever, I've never experienced a problem like this, any ideas people?
Can you replace the cpu if I may ask
How about some volume?
Position the mic
Is there only one storage bay?
The laptop needs a severe upgrade I know you can carry 32 gigabytes of RAM but what I don't know is is it dual Channel or single-channel and then when it comes to the hard drive I've got that horrible firecuda in it and I want to go straight to SSD what is the largest size SSD and which one do you recommend to put inside in exchange for that firecuda. Thank you in advance:-)
single or dual channel depends on how many ram modules you put in the laptop. If you populate all the 2 ram slots you will use dual channel otherwise it's single channel.
To swap out that firecuda look for a 2.5 inch ssd if you have the money go for the 2.5" samsung 860 pro. I have this laptop and plan to do this too haha.
Firecuda is fine... obviously SSD is better....but the performance isn't terrible.
Was hoping you’d point out where the Bluetooth transceiver is. Mine just died.
Your site doesn't work, do you know where I can get an Asus ROG Strix GL503GE-EN166T CPU fan replacement?
thnank u lol
So sad right now. I have the same laptop and it just broke down. I was just playing like usual and it suddenly freezed and crashed. I turned it off and when I tried to turn it on again, it just won't. I tried the battery discharge method and still nothing. I don't have the money to buy another one again.
I have a GL703V and the screws that are numbered on the heat sink/fan piece are giving me some trouble. I cannot screw them down completely as they get stuck 1/3 into their respective holes when I try to reassamble the laptop post repaste.
August Wigg You might be using the wrong screw in the wrong hole, or there might be something that hasn't fully been reseated inside and is therefore sticking up a bit.
Mixing up screws is something I've done many times.
What brand memory do they use? That way when I upgrade I can use the same. (I know type speed etc)
If you buy the laptop just install cpu-z. It has an "spd" tab where you can see the manufacturer and speed and timings etc.
Thank you. Did what I needed. Keep up the good work on your videos. ;-)
Hi, my keybord backlight is off also when the pc start only tab and power button got light please help i want to know if its soft or hardware please.
Try reinstalling the keyboard drivers or whatever, I don’t know too much about it but my rgb stopped working so I messed with the settings in Game Center and entire keyboard stopped working, I think I just reinstalled the keyboard driver(or whatever it is called) and it’s fine
Where is the full model number sticker on this pos?
will opening your computer get rid of your warranty
No
Hey, thanks for the video. I did the same things, but when I turned on thr PC, I couldn't find SSD which is D file ind My Computer. What should I do?
hopefully you found a solution because I have the same problem
@@Ballz2U2 yes, you may need to open the PC again(literally open it like he did in the video) and there should be a usb plug for SSD waits for you to plug it its USB hole. As I remember, it is located on the case not on the laptop. Hope it helps.
someone tell me the song from the beginning xoxo
I have such a problem. It is in manual, that one power plug socket only keeps it alive, and don't charge a battery, and another is charging. in mine both of the plugs are charging the laptop battery. Any clues?
thanks.
What's in front of the HDD?
Is it possible to upgrade the 1050Ti in this laptop?
What kind of M2 ssd connection thos it have?
I have a problem with mine where the gpu fan is always maxed out and and doesn’t respond to my fan settings. Can anyone help it is so loud I can’t take it to class
please can u show me how to replace ROG GL503VD keyboard?? i've problem with my keyboard,, my keyboard didn't work
Mine stopped too, how did you get your's fixed?
@@L.o.u.i.s.. Mine too, any solution ?
@@JedidiJedidi yup, install Hotfix. It's on Asus website under your model number.
@@L.o.u.i.s.. Thank you for your answer, but the only model that have the hotfix driver is 503GE I tried it and it doesn't work.
My model is 503VD and it's keyboard stopped working completely even in the bios.
@@JedidiJedidi Mine had stopped too, and the power on button wouldnt light even the laptop turned on. I was using a wireless keyboard to help me out during the process. You could do a system restoration, choose the option that let you keep your personal data, your apps will need to be reinstalled though.. That should do the trick. You can find that out in control panel under "recuperation" (mine is in french, maybe not the same term) Good luck.
Did ya'll ever actually get to removing the fans on video?
We replaced our can assembly
What screwdrivers do I need?
