Hello everyone and Welcome to HowFixit.
In this video I gonna show you how to disassemble the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401 laptop, clean
it from dust and replace thermal paste.
To disassemble asus rog zephyrus g14 you will need next tools:
Phillips 1 screwdriver Plastic tool
Tweezers Antistatic brush
Thermal grease Also I recommend using a magnetic mat in repair
process and laying out each screw step-by-step during disassembly, which is especially useful
in the case of the Asus ROG GA401.
This laptop has a lot of screws of different sizes and it is very important not to confuse
them during assembly.
In the description, I’ll leave links where to buy all the necessary tools.
Turn the laptop over and remove all the screws on the bottom cover.
Next, take a plastic tool and begin to open the case of laptop.
I recommend using a plastic tool so as not to damage the laptop case when you opening.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.
Now let's begin to the removal of the cooling system.
Remove all screws on the cooling system.
Pay attention to the order of removing the screws; I recommend unscrewing in the indicated
order.
Disconnect fan cables.
Now you can remove cooling system by lifting up from
the motherboard.
Remove the old thermal paste from the surface of the CPU and GPU, as well as from the radiator.
If thermal grease is very dry and doesn't rub well, you can use isopropyl alcohol.
Now let's begin cleaning the cooling system from dust.
Remove all dust from the radiator and fan.
How to apply thermal grease.
Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the processor, then take a plastic tool and spread
it evenly over the entire surface of the chip.
If you still don’t know which thermal grease to choose, in the description, I left a link
to the video where I test different thermal greases and choose the best one for the laptop.
Now you can install the cooling system and tighten all
the screws.
Please note: how
I tighten the screws on the radiator.
It is necessary to tighten the screws evenly on each side, a few turns of each screw.
If you tighten the screw immediately and completely, there is a chance that you may damage
the processor chip.
If your Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401 laptop is still overheating after cleaning and replacing
the thermal grease, I recommend watching a video about the cooling pad for the laptop,
or how to undervolting CPU and GPU to reduce heat and increase laptop performance.
All links you can found in the description.
