I was looking to replace the ram in mine, I'm glad to see I won't even need to take anything out to upgrade it! ty
Thanks man! You helped me replacing screen back case and hinges. I had followed your steps and voila!!! Everythings works😀.
Yours broke too??
the screw mounts for hinge on back cover simply popped off and nowi have to change back cover. i still have to open it and i just hope it goes well.
Thank-you so much for sharing! I'm getting ready to replace the screen bezel as some of the plastic tabs by the hinge broke and now an excellent guide to follow
Now all I need to do is find a case replacement thank you so so much!
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Zechariah Felipe instablaster :)
@Bodhi Briar Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Bodhi Briar It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Zechariah Felipe no problem :D
Very detailed video and excellent explanation. It would have been better if you could show the chassis quality and its support structure as there are a lot of complaints about hinges breaking. So a closer look at the quality of chassis could have been more informative for those suspicious of the hinges quality
I just found myself in need of replacing one of the hinges which broke in a very unusual way and had no idea how.
This was a most helpful tutorial, thanks!
I had the exact same problem followed these steps and now it's perfect 😅
Same here, I just sent it back under the warranty
Is it necessary to remove the board etc before remove the hinge? Or we just have to remove the display cable and the hinge screw only
Same. This "tuf" is absolutely not tough.
Thanks for the video. How do you disconnect the video cable from the webcam? Does it slide in, or is there a bar you lift to secure/release the ribbon? I think I broke the connector on my cam :/
hello. i have fx504g and i only want to replace the back and front lcd cover without replacing the screen (only covers). Do i have to separate the whole screen part from the laptop like you did?? please reply and thank you very much!!
Both display hinges freaking shattered on my kids FX504 about a month ago, right out of warranty of course. These things are POSes! Thanks to this video I just removed the display, and while I was at it, the battery, wifi, and spinning HDD as well. Its now my gaming desktop!
Lol
Awesome! Thanks for the tips as well!
Do you by chance know if there is a way to do a power button bypass without the keyboard?
this laptop have a cooler on the left side ? i ask this because i have the same laptop and i can`t feel any air flow coming from the back on the left side and i wonder if is a problem with my laptop ( when i say left side i refer to the side where is the ESC button )
Your a lifesaver, thank you!
wow you made it look so easy!
How do u keep track of all those components without screwing up when you go to reassemble
Can I use my laptop if I remove the battery,and will it cause any damage?
You are a life saver. My Asus wouldnt turn on. I removed the battery cable and reinserted. Works like new now
Nice, glad to help!
yeah for some reason laptops do that i dont understand why tho lmao
I'm having trouble with the 6 screws of the heatsink, I didn't see you change screwdriver nor have any problem; for me, the screwdriver I used for all the previous screw didn't work for them, so I had to get a full set of screwdriver, and even then not a single one worked (and I don't want to force on the screws/destroy them), it's either to small, too big or seem to fit but actually don't. Magnets don't help...
Mine has two screws that seem to loose thread or the nut at the other end is loose. So they won't come off.
is there video on how to re-assemble it?
Спасибо вам за такой подробный обзор! Респект!
Where can I find motherboard for my fx504gm i5 , Service shop says CPU sorted or, something like that. Suddenly laptop stops no power and not coming back! I'v to replace motherboard but, there is none in our country as they say. Can you provide me some link from where I can buy & ship to Bangladesh( south Asian country).
Thanks
Hi. After I renew thermal paste, I lost the light of the screen but I can use with hdmi. What should I do? I might use paste bad. Could it be because of this?
What the vent on top does? It is covered by motherboard...
What's the thickness of thermal pad?
I removed the fans to clean them and messed smfn up. Now my screen doesn’t work. Videos really helpful but make sure you’re careful with what you do when copying it 👍
Is the video connector ... Means the webcam connector?
Question.. fx80 and fx504g are the same case replacement?
I threw cola in touchpad on the same laptop...not so much...do u know if i have problem?i close it immediately and i removed the battery.should i clean it?can touchpad burn all laptop?
Hi i have a fx504g i want to order a replacement keyboard i was asked what kind of connection i need since they are a variety of connector what should i tell the seller?
Does anyone know if the inside would look anything like the ASUS FX705GM?
is it okay to remove the black tape and not using it anymore?
Thank you sir, it was very usefull
Hello can we replace the CPU from Asus Fx504gd . I am unable to get new motherboard because of its cost😧
thank you, you are helping me with my college assignment
anyone know where I can get a audio jack replacement?
Hi, Great video congrats. I am having the problem of a loose lid, that closes by gravity at certain angles, so I would like to tighten it up. Do i need to go as far as removing the motherboard, or it is a simpler procedure? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Looks like you can get to the hinge nuts right after you remove the bottom case. Try tightening the little nuts on the end of each hinge, that may solve your issue.
@@Sellbrokedotcom Thanks a lot, I will. Take care
7:25 , my asus tuf gaming laptop is different model but almost all the part places plugs are the same except video cable , you pulled it up and removed it , i tried the same and it got broken as in this one i needed to pull it from the side , what a stupid mistake , what to do now? Please help .
Hi I replace the screen covers and now my camera and microphoen are not working, help?
Note: ASUS TUF FX504 and FX505 series is really a low end entry gaming laptop. In preventing CPU throttling is not going to be easy to get good results in a 2018 model.
If your laptop is rather hot all the time, maybe it is time to reapply Thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. Use Arctic MX-4 or Kryonaut Thermal Paste. Clean the old compound off and apply an even paper thin layer across the top of the CPU and GPU. Never use thermal pads.
Also you cannot upgrade the AC 9560 WiFi card to anything other than another AC 9560. Sorry, no WiFi 6 or Bluetooth 5.0. stuck at WiFi 5 and BT 4.0.
The TN 60Hz panel (screen) display can not be upgraded either.
It has the AU Optronics AU038ED / B156HTN03.8 as no way possible the FX504GD-ES51 will work with a 120Hz or 144Hz screen. including any IPS display. The only thing you can do is connect the HDMI to an external monitor but without having a High End GPU such as RTX 2060 (is problematic), go with RTX 2070 Max-Q or RTX 2080 Super for 4K resolution. A GTX 1050, 1050ti, 1060, 1070. 1080, 1650, 1650ti and GTX 1660ti only able to get you 1080p HD.
To replace a damaged screen with same and doing it yourself cost around $60 at your own RISK!
The only 3 things you can upgrade is the 1) 2666MHz memory of 8GB up to 32GB. the 2) crappy and slow hybrid 1TB Firecuda SSHD for a nice 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD, 3) install a m.2 NVMe SSD such as 1TB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe PCIe m.2 ssd.
After how much time do you thing thermal paste should be replaced?
Why can’t we upgrade to the 120hz screen? Even if it’s a replacement part that fits? I’ve got the fx504gm with the 60hz ten and I’m thinking of replacing it with the 120hz ips I’ll get from a replacement parts site.
I upgraded my Intel 9560 card to Intel AX200 WiFi 6 ready card. It works fine, just download the drivers first before replacing the wireless card in case you get no WiFi reception.

hello good morning, 2 questions please, what is the exact model of the pc, fx 504 g, gd, gm? what make and model of network card does your pc carry? I have a 504 gd fx and it has the realtek 8821 CE 1x1. Thank you. good morning
This was an Intel 9560NGW and model was FX504GE.
I've got FX 505 and it needs keyboard replacement. I already removed MB but have no idea how to pull out the old keyboard. Any idea? It looks similar to 504.
Unfortunately they attach the backing plate with just melted plastic rivets which makes it cheaper to manufacture. You would need to break all those off, then find a way to reattach that backing plate for re-installation. The backing plate is also structural, meaning things like the motherboard and bottom case rely on it to hold in place. You could try using plastic epoxy where the rivets used to be, and let it cure overnight. Otherwise just buying a palmrest assembly is the other option, like here for $80 & free shipping www.ebay.com/itm/Asus-TUF-Gaming-FX505-Palmrest-w-Backlit-Keyboard-0KNR0-661CUS00/202994180858?hash=item2f436562fa:g:2xQAAOSw1JFewW2g:sc:USPSFirstClass!89511!US!-1
does the gpu need to be soldered, or does it snap in? silly, I know, but i'm interested in upgrading the gpu on my fx705dt. it has a ryzen 5, and a 1050 or a 1050ti. it's not bad, but I like to mess with things. also, are dimensions an issue with mobile gpu's, or are they pretty cross compatible? you're video has the best breakdown I have seen yet. thank you for any answers you might have.
It is integrated/soldered to the motherboard. Most mobile GPU's are either integrated or use an MXM slot, as opposed to desktop GPU's which are usually PCIe.
@@Sellbrokedotcom thank you.
which side is the CPU and GPU fan? Left or Right side when the ASUS logo is on top. or - When you showed the motherboard and removed the heat pipes with the fans, unable to confirm which was GPU or CPU. Thank you!
At 7:00 when heatsink is removed, the GPU is on the right.... they are usually placed next to memory chips as is this one.
hey, do you know what screws are used that connects the hinge to the back cover? thanks in advance!
Usually a small phillips, 2.5mm I think
sir my games keep crashing in Asus tuf fx505dt I did everything like reset OS, update driver and etc but none of them worked. if that's gpu's fault can it be fixed?
thanks man I would have ended up shredding that plastic under the display
Is the SSD soldiered?
I have the same, just stopped working :( only the keyboard turns on :( nothing else what can it be?
While dissasembling the laptop for a cleanup i accidentally peeled the black sheet cover from the RAM and the metallic one as well, i put them back, but they got kinda loose cause the glue isn't sticky enough as it was. Will this affect in some way... the heat dissipation i'm guesing? will it be a problem if they unstick and move around inside the chasis?, can i just get them off if not?
It will not affect much for ram sticks, i applied some thermal paste on all IC of ram and cover sticked with it
can i just replace the screen without separating the whole upper part of the laptop? i'm using FX 505
Usually yes.... as long as: The bezel is removable and the screws holding on the bezel are accessible. It looks like on this model you can pull off the bezel with the screen assembly still attached. Once the bezel is off you should be able to replace the screen, just a few phillips screws and a video cable to remove, then just reverse the procedure to install.
I'm having a trouble, I opened my pc to fix a problem I was having with the network adapter but i accidentaly disconnected the display, the laptop turns on but it shows nothing but black, I connected a second monitor and it works fine but I really don't know what did I disconnect, can you please tell me in which part is the laptops display wire? I have an TUF FX504G
Check out 4:17, that's when it's disconnected.
If i want to only disassembly the monitor, should i starting like your in this video? I don't need disassemble motherboard and others. Thank for answer
You might be able to take the bezel off without disassembling anything else..... give it a shot. If you can then you will be able to remove the screen or webcam easily.
@@Sellbrokedotcom okay thank in advance, because i have a problem with a casing of this display monitor, i should replacement with the new casing
I have a 505du. The GPU and CPU are "glued" to the motherboard or can I upgrade them?
Looks like they are integrated, non removable, sorry
Where the connection for the power button?!..its not working for me.
Can you do a video of replacing the hard drive?
Check out 3:11 and just reverse to install.
Many thanks
Hi! Can you tell me what screws I have to find for the cover panel (under the laptop itself) I need?
4 screws in front. 1 in center. 6 around the sides and back.
4 screws in front. 1 in center. 6 around the sides and back.
hey, so i have this laptop, and unfortunately, the screw near the headphone jack cant be extracted, it just spins in place, and i really need to change my harddrive. is the screw holder part of the motherboard? do you have any recommendations on what i can do? or am i just screwed here? lol
I'd try removing all of the other screws, then using light upward pressure on the case might hold the broken screw post in place hard enough to extract the screw. What's going on is the place where the screw attaches broke off and is stuck under the motherboard hole. If you can just get to it enough to hold it with something you should be able to undo the screw.
Does it have more than 1 disk slots? Cuz i wanted to put a second 256 GB disk in it but idk where
I'm buying this laptop for 350$
Is it value for money?
no@@idle314
Perfect!!!!!!!
2 screw of thermal tube is not opening its tight too much how to open?
If it's really tight then you might have to remove the motherboard and set it on something sturdy, then press down hard on the screw as you're turning it. If you try this why the motherboard is in the case, it might cause the motherboard to flex/bend and break a connection. Good luck!
Hello, I have a question. I recently reapplied the thermal paste on my FX 504's cpu and gpu. But when I removed the heatsink, I noticed that there was factory applied thermal paste on some other components and a lot of it too. So I'm just wondering what those components are and is it important to apply paste on those as well or should they just be left as it is. Thanks
I should also mention that I did remove old paste from those components and reapplied very little of my new thermal paste (Arctic mx4) and now my temps are even worse than before.
Use Thermal Grizzly
Dude I'm trying to remove the heatsink, but my screwdriver doesn't fit. Do you have the screw dimensions or an Amazon link ?
@@amriteshmohanty2475 www.amazon.in/dp/B07HWSR7Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vd17EbNEWJXF5

@@jjeeefff did you ever manage to get the temps back down?
@@nikith7224 yes, I just left it as it was, I guess it needed time to set. I'm seeing much better temps now.
can the fans be more dissembled in order to drop oil? because I have sound problem on fans they make lots of noise
Unlikely, many don't even use bearings and are usually sealed. This laptop has a reputation for running really hot..... your fans may just be spinning fast to help cooling.
@@Sellbrokedotcom ah i am not talking about that fast spinning sound, but it is more like the fans are bumping, crashing. there is clicking noise
@@chromax1619 That's your hard drive
@@Sellbrokedotcom my last hdd died and just changed it idk, I will take it to an expert thx
What item is the WiFi connection cause I scrude it up I NEED HELP NOW
2:15
If I open back pannel to add Ram will my warranty void or I have to go service center
That's a question for Asus.... you should be able to upgrade without fear of voiding your warranty.
Opening the care at all voids warranty.
All be it is stupid.
Thankyou

Is the hinge weak??

I was having issues with fans spinning up really loud, and eventually one side starting making a whining noise in addition to that. I went in removed the thermal paste and reapplied, unfortunately it’s still spinning up pretty loud and the fan still making the whining noise. I can’t really see any dust anywhere and the fan seems in alignment so I’m not sure if anyone has suggestions?
You could try some canned air into the vents.... the fan may just be going bad. I know this model spins the fans at top speed any time you are stressing the graphics, there have been some cooling issues...
SellBroke thank you, it’s actually a little annoying it just started recently. I used to play wow on it fairly easily. Now just playing osrs (which is a way older game) and I’ve got a jet plane on my hands
SellBroke hey sorry to bother you again, do you think it’s worth grabbing replacement fans on eBay? It’s pretty spotless dust wise. Might grab some better thermal paste at the same time
@@Aqpbtw Its worth a shot.... any unusual fan noise is either dirt or the fan wearing out.

I cant get a casing for this in my country . 😥
Try eBay.... most sellers ship internationally

So I can’t replace my graphics card, okay, sad noises. Nice tutorial though. At least I got to clean out all the dust and broken off bits of plastic 😃
You can use this thing called an exp gdc , it's an adapter that connects Into the pcei port thing where your WiFi card is connected , so you can plug it in there and plug then gpu externally into the adapter.. it might require a psu for some cards not sure.
My laptop fans were making really broken noise... When I open it up.... I found small bits of broken off plastic which was stuck between fan and fan cover.. I was wondering why this laptop randomly keeps breaking plastic bits 🙄🤔

Extremely frustrated with this model i have Tuf fx 504gm i7, 1060 model. no use of having power when you cant use them... cant even play CS:GO in basic settings... how can this laptop even exist... i will boycott all asus products in near future.. better to stick with MSI, DELL, ACER.. for gaming...
It seems like there may be an issue with the GPU, the GTX 1060 is supposed to be VR-Ready and capable of running dual 1080p screens at 90FPS. Have you updated your driver or checked the settings? It sounds like the laptop is trying to run the game with the integrated graphics instead of your discreet GTX 1060. A Google search indicates you should be running near 160 FPS with high settings. Definitely check your card out with benchmark software as well to eliminate a software issue.
@@Sellbrokedotcom This laptop has serious thermal throttling issues, and it also has power limit throttling.. the processor max tdp is 25w only. even tried undervolting both cpu and gpu.. it helps only to a certain extent... this laptop has inadequate cooling design...which is why they have restricted processor tdp to just 25w.
Very cheap build quality, i own fx504gd. 😭
It's a cheap laptop so
