LOL, You need detailed instructions on how to disassemble a laptop? You do of course know that every model is different, right? Instructions would have to be high level or it would take a book to give you details. If you don't know what you're doing I suggest you take it to a computer repair shop. Actually taking the laptop apart is the easy part for the task you want to do. The hard part is desoldering the dc jack that is already on the motherboard and then soldering a new one in it's place. Desoldering and getting the old dc jack out is a task and if you put too much pressure on the motherboard you could crack it or break something off.

So to take it apart you take all the screws off the bottom of the laptop, remove the hard drive, remove the cd drive, remove the battery, remove the wireless card, remove memory. Some of the things we just removed might be secured with screws and some of them once they are removed will surely have screws that were under them that attaches to the motherboard. Then you have to turn the laptop over, remove the piece that is right above the keyboard that normally has the power button on it. Be careful, sometimes there is a cable attached to it. Then you remove the screws that hold the keyboard and carefully pull the keyboard out because it most definitely has a cable under it. Then you remove the lcd by removing screws from it's hinges, and remove the cable that plugs into the motherboard and carefully pull the wifi cable that runs from the lcd, then down under where the keyboard sat, and through a slot that gets it to the bottom of the motherboard. Once you remove the lcd, you start removing screws that hold the palmrest to the motherboard and when you lift the palmrest be careful because there are cables such as the mouse and touchpad under it. Then you start removing screws that have the motherboard attached to the bottom case. Once they are removed you can lift the motherboard out but be careful because there will be other cables attached to it that you'll have to take off such as the cpu fan cable, etc. One you have the motherboard out you might have to remove the heat sink and fan that is secured by screws and the head sink has a coat of Thermal Paste on it that you'll most likely want to replace otherwise you have the risk of overheating. Once all that is done, now you have to start desoldering to pull the old prongs out that was holding the dc power jack to the motherboard (this part alone will take well over an hour), Then pop the new jack in it's place and start soldering it. Then pray to God, Allah, Buddha, Jehovah or whoever it is you serve that you can put it all back together and that it works!!!!!

SOURCE: Need asolution for

To do dis follow dis steps....

1)Flipped the laptop back over and carefully removed the cover along the top (Where the power buttons is) by removing the three screws along the back of the laptop. You need to be careful removing this as it has small plastic clips that are very easily snapped. Once that’s off you can remove the two screws that hold the Keyboard in place. Lift the keyboard and release the catch on the Keyboard cable on the motherboard. Allows you to lift the keyboard away.

2)Then remove the cable for the LCD display and pull the wireless connection cable through the hole, Remove the screws holding the Display in place and remove completely, Store it somewhere safe as these displays are very easy to break.

3)Remove the 2 screws holding in the Power button board and lift it off. Again store it somewhere safe and on or in something antistatic.

SOURCE: My Asus G71G-A1 Notebook freezes on startup and makes short beeps

Have you tried entering the 'Safe Mode?'
By tapping either F5 or F8 right after power on, you will interrupt the normal (currently ABnormal) Windows boot path and see a menu that will let you enter a mode with a terrible scattered Desktop but only very few Windows functions installed. One of the latter is probably bollixed.
If it worked OK in the last days, you may be able to use the saved (good) condition by reverting to it via the Restore routine. You can start this by clicking on Start, then Run, then entering in the provided window:
rstrui.exe
then click on OK.
Just follow the simple directions. This will not affect your recent (or past) work, it only restores settings and freshens files to a condition of an earlier point in time when things were good.
This won't always fix your problem if you have been invaded by some spiffy malware but it is a good place to start.
Let us know if this helped-

SOURCE: AC Power supply overheating for ASUS eee PC

If the pc is fully charged, dont leave it plugged in. Mine gets hot but I've experienced ones that were hot to-the-touch...I'd say be careful leaving it on charge when you are not at home.

Best bet would be to dismantle and make some sort of "Hamshack" connector,soldering if neccessary or even glueing the dam thing if the case is broken or damaged.

Broken power plugin port

The power plug in port you refer to is the DC Power Jack.

The AC adapter (Charger) converts AC electricity into DC electricity.
DC electricity has two poles. Positive, and Negative.
(Just like on a D cell flashlight battery)

The center pin of the DC Power Jack is the Positive connection.
The outer metal spring-like pieces, on the inside of the cylindrical shape surrounding the center pin, are the Negative connection.
(The pieces of spring-like metal, all connect to the Negative connection in the DC Power Jack)

Example of a replacement DC Power Jack, for the Asus Eee PC 1005HA Netbook,

http://www.batterysupport.com/asus-eee-pc-1005ha-jack-p-303527.html

[ Note*
Cannot agree with the replacement instructions they offer, at the bottom of the page.
Not everyone has access to a hot-air gun. A 25 Watt soldering iron, and Desoldering Braid, is better, and more easily accessed ]

A few articles dealing with replacement of a DC Power Jack,

http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2006/05/27/failed-laptop-power-jack-workaround/

1) Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter, (Charger), and Battery.
2) Observe Anti-Static Precautions. Buy, and use an ESD wrist strap.
Electro Static Discharge.

(Average cost is from $3 to $6. Connect the alligator clip to a good ground source.
I connect to an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of an open, empty desktop computer case.

I don't know how to plug in the wires for the ASUS a8n sli deluxe motherboard

Here is the manual for your motherboard (since describing a diagram probably isn't very useful...)
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/A8N-SLI/e2024_a8n-sli.pdf

You want to look at pages 27-35, they describe what you need to plug into the motherboard. Basically make sure you have connected:

1) 24-pin power cable (from power supply)
2) 4-pin power cable (for CPU from power supply)
3) Any case fans with 3/4 pin connectors.
3) hard drives (SATA or IDE)
4) USB front panel ports
5) Audio front panel ports
6) Case plugs (power LED, hdd LED, power switch, and reset switch).

Some of my peripherals, trackball inc. want to be connected to the netbook instead of settling for my hub. What do I HAVE to connect to the computer among CD drive, hard drive, printer, keyboard,...

Most likely your USB hub is not capable of supplying enough power to support all your peripheral devices. USB devices are powered by 5 volts from the USB port. If you connect a hub to a USB port and connect a lot of devices to the hub, there is not enough 5 volt power to let all devices work. To fix this, most USB hubs have an external power option that when plugged in will supply extra power for any connected devices.
If your hub does not have an external power option I would suggest you purchase a new hub that does have an external power supply.

Good luck :)

Asus 900 doesnt turn on any what isthe problem

this could be a variety of problems, but from my experience, if there is no short in the power supply cord, or you have a good battery and power brick, the only other problem that i have ran into on this subject, is where you plug in the power cord to the pc, behind that plug on the mother board, there is a connection which may have become loose, all you have to do is resolder that connection and you should get power. hope this was helpful, a pain to do

Bios password, how do i remove it. I need to change the boot system to install windows.

Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
The fastest way to clear the bios password would be to first find the bios/cmos battery on the motherboard. See the picture below.
8931cc0.jpg

Next find the 3-pin bios jumper. Asus motherboards usually mark the motherboard bios pins as, CLRTC.
It will be rather close to the bios battery. Pay attention to the current position of the bios jumper. It is currently set as normal. The jumper will cover pins 1 and pin 2.
Remove the jumper and place over pins 2 and pin 3. Doing this will clear the bios and will reset all bios settings to DEFAULT. Grab a small flat- head screw driver. Gently insert the screw driver slightly under the battery edge to help you to remove the battery. Wait 30 seconds and reseat the battery. Reset the bios jumper back to pins 1 and pin 2.
Reconnect the power supply cord. You will need to enter the bios and re-configure all your settings. Use your motherboard manual to help guide you through all your bios settings. Next time include the model number of your Asus MB.

Happy holidays!

Will not turn on

just check first the power consumption in the motherboard..you dissamble the laptop remove motherboard and check the power supply area of motherboard if the current goes in, is the same as the voltage of your laptop...check with the digital meter..
if not the same, you can replace first the power jack before anything else..because the processor cant be damage like that only,maybe i will believe for the mainboard but processor...its hard to damage..unless you will broke the pin....this idea based on my experience only....

ASUS COMPUTER PROBLEM

Hello owners of the Asus P5S800-VM motherboard. This Asus board uses an integrated PCI graphics card. (That means it’s built into the board, you can not see it. Its part of the north bridge SiS661FX chipset). Everyone will need their manual so you can follow my instructions. If you no longer have your manual, please click on the ASUS P5S800-VM link below. A pop-up windows will open & you will need to choose the operating system from the dropdown menu. Than click Search.
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=P5S800-VM&SLanguage=en-us
This downloadable manual can only be read with Adobe reader software. If you need Adobe's software, you can download it from Adobe at this next link: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/
Shut down your systems; unplug the power cord from the PC's power supply. Open your case.
Please remove the AGP video card from the board; if any have one has one installed. (If you do not you will not receive display on your monitor. Once removed you now need to clear the bios/cmos.
On the board find the cmos/bios jumper as shown on page 1-21. Move the jumper to cover pins 2 & 3, count to 15 & move the jumper back to pins 1 & 2. One this is done. Close your case. Plug the power cord back into the power supply. Now we need to enter into the bios. Boot your PC & press the Delete key on your keyboard every 2 seconds. The bios main menu will open. Read the instructions at the bottom of the menu. This will show you how to move about while in the bios using your keyboard. (Can not use the mouse in here). Go to the title Advanced. Open "Chipset" page
2-17. See manual section 2.4.3 page 2-20. Change Primary Graphics Adapter to [AGP]
Save the bios & exit it. The system will auto restart. Press & hold the case power on /off button until the system shuts off. Unplug the power cord from the power supply. Open your case. Insert your AGP card. Make sure it is seated evenly & fully. Re-check all power connections & data connections before closing the case. Re-connect the power cord to the power supply. Boot your PC. You should have display. Install your graphics cards software. Check windows for any updates.
Life should be good. The ASUS P5S800-VM can only use a 1.5volt AGP card & nothing else. Check the manual for your AGP card & make sure it is 1.5v compatible. If its voltage is higher you will not receive display. This next link will show what a 1.5v graphics card looks like. Notice the copper contacts & its separation. Turn to manual page 1-20 for another 1.5v card with more than two separations.

Good luck everyone!
