Steps: 5 Steps
Swapping out the hard drive on the Asus Zenbook UX21e is a breeze! Start by tackling those battery replacement steps. Next, grab a screwdriver and unscrew the one screw holding the SSD in place – don’t forget to peel off the tape that’s covering it. Once that’s done, you can gently lift out the SSD. And remember, if you run into any tricky spots, feel free to schedule a repair!
Step 1
– Grab your trusty T4 Torx screwdriver and get ready! Unscrew the ten screws holding the bottom cover in place. After that, confidently slide the bottom cover straight back parallel to the computer—smooth like butter.
– Heads-up! There are two screw lengths here: eight of them are 3mm, while the two 5mm screws always belong in the two center holes along the back edge. Keep track of ’em to avoid any mix-ups!
