You can screw the lids back shut once both hidden screws removed.

I have dismantled the cover, but it looks like I need to get into the base to replace the hinge – does anyone know if this is a total dismantle job or is the hinge base easy to access?
Thanks

Will the touchpad adhese to the new palmrest after it cools down? Or how to fasten the circuit board into the palmrest? Was the new touch circuit pre adhesive or you have to use some type of glue? Thanks

@ Rhian,
You will need DDR3-10600 RAM. You can buy it online.
I believe this model (Asus K53U) can handle up to 8GB of RAM total (4GB RAM module per slot).

I have just used this guide to install a new DC! Was quoted nearly 200 pounds my a laptop repair company because apparently the motherboard was going to be damaged! Ha ha ANYWAY…. I’m thinking of upgrading the ram from 2gb so I can play Minecraft on it… Any tips?? Have no idea where to get the ram from.

Knowing the person who owns this PC, it was better to spend $12.00 and get a new one.

@ Brad,
I believe the touchpad is glued to the palmrest cover. You can try heating it up with a hair dryer. It will soften up the adhesive tape and make easier to separate the touchpad from the old palmrest cover.

@ Shawn,
You can try heating it up with a hairdryer or heat gun. It should soften up the adhesive and make it easier to remove. Be careful not to melt the plastic.
