Hello everyone and Welcome to HowFixit.
In this video I gonna show you how to disassemble Asus ROG Strix GL703G laptop, clean it from
dust and replace thermal paste.
To disassemble Asus ROG GL703G you will need next tools:
Phillips 1 screwdriver Plastic tool
Tweezers Antistatic brush
Thermal grease
In the description, I’ll leave links where to buy all the necessary tools.
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 Asus ROG GL703G.
This laptop has a lot of screws and it is very important not to lose them during disassembling.
Turn the laptop over and remove the screw on the bottom cover.
Remove the four screws on the hard drive.
Lift up the hard drive slightly and turn off the cable.
Remove all the remaining 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 opening.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.
Disconnect the fan cables from the motherboard.
Next, remove all the screws on the fans.
At this step, you can clean the fan from dust.
Now remove all dust from the radiator.
To clean the motherboard from dust, use only an antistatic brush.
Remove all screws on the cooling system.
Pay attention to the order of removing the screws; I recommend unscrewing in the indicated
order.
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.
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.
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 the thermal grease on the video chips is in an elastic state, then there is NO need
for replacement, just collect the paste closer to the center.
Under pressure that will evenly distributed over the surface of the components.
Now you can install the cooling system and tighten all the screws.
Please notice that: how I tighten the screws on the radiator.
If your 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.
