Asus ZenBook Flip UX360C Motherboard Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 7 Steps
This step-by-step guide walks you through swapping out the motherboard in the Asus ZenBook Flip UX360C. Heads up: we’re using a metal spudger here to pry and poke inside the device. However, metal tools can be a bit too eager and may damage internal components or cause harm—especially around the battery. For safety and peace of mind, opt for an ESD-safe tool instead. If you need a hand or want to make sure everything’s done right, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
– Take out all ten T5 screws hanging out near the edges of the back cover—don’t let any escape!
– Next up, pop out the two Phillips #1 screws hiding under the rubber feet by the screen. Sneaky, but not sneaky enough.
Step 2
Heads up! Don’t yank the keyboard off just yet—there are two ribbon cables still connecting it to the motherboard.
– Grab a metal spudger and carefully pop the keyboard away from the case—easy does it, no wild moves needed.
– Gently lift the keyboard out and set it aside like the VIP it is.
– Tilt the keyboard up just a bit and use a plastic spudger to unclip both ribbon cables from their ZIF connectors—take your time, no rush!
