I found instructions for taking apart an Asus L3800 or Asus L3C laptops. Apparently both models are the same or at lease very similar.
This guide has instructions for taking apart the whole laptop. You’ll need this one for accessing the wireless card, CPU cooling fan with the heatsink, dial up mode. Also, you can use it for removing the motherboard and replacing the power jack. By the way, if the power jack is loose you can use this tutorial for resoldering the jack yourself.
Let’s say you repaired the laptop, assembled it and now it gets power but will not turn on. What could be wrong?
1. If you removed the CPU, make sure it’s seated properly inside the socket and the socket is LOCKED.
2. Make sure the memory is properly connected to the motherboard and making good connection with the slot. Try reseating the module inside the slot.

Help me, please.
I’d need to know the exact code of “D14″ (equivalent too)near the power jack socket (motherboard ASUS 3800 L3C).
Thank you

I am trying to get the keyboard off of my ASUS PRO 60R. It seems more complicated than anything I have seen in the instructions. for example, the “keyboard bezel” is not there — the entire top half of the computer is fused together.
Any ideas what to do?
And especially, how to loosen the screws that are stuck?
(My keyboard problem is similar to the ones described in other comments: a few drops of salt water caused the keyboard to go haywire, got progressively worse. Although I own an external keyboard, the existing one is interfering at all times.)

Janelle,
I’ve never worked with Asus laptops but I’ll try to guess.
If there is no keyboard bezel, most likely the keyboard is secured by a few screws on the bottom of the laptop. Try removing all screws you can find that could hold the keyboard. After that insert a piece of thin plastic between the keyboard and palm rest and try lifting it up.
You’ll have to use a good quality screwdriver which makes a good contact with the screw. Make sure to use the right size screwdriver. If the screwdriver is too small, you can strip the screw.

I thought I had the same problem. Mine D14 (I think it is a diode) is vanised due to bad solder of the power jack. But with the original powersupply I have the system up and running now.
If you already tried the get it running, try another adaptor. Maybe it works. Good luck

Hi, I am trying to take apart my Asus M51A laptop, a few drops of liquid got spilled on my touch pad, and I am trying to get the touch pad out, so I can look at it and am finding it near impossible. I can’t get the top of the laptop off, and can’t seem to access it from underneath. help! thanks!
