Hi Sifu's,

Im having a problem to buy a new notebook because of Im really confuse with model is suit for me. I looking for a notebook that can run 3d design and rendering, budget is around 3-4K. Yesterday I went to computer shop and saw asus A42JA, the spec is very good and the price affortable RM2999, I also saw a N43/N53JQ, look class and using a alluminium/titanium(dont know the exact material) as a cover. Both look like have the same spec but difrent outlook. I really like the Nseries but if I can save money, better to buy a42ja. But yesterday I ask the shop to on the notebook (a42ja), the windows cannot open (mention harddisk failure). Ermmm, a new computer facing this kind of problem? How about quality? ANd I ask the selller how they solve this problem, he said he will call the asus agent to come to their shop and replace the harddisk. Look strange???? It suppose to change to the new one, NOT replacing the harddisk and sell as the new one... Sifu's really appreciate your advise.... If have any suggestion on other brand/model, plz help me on this... Thanks a lot

I will be getting N53JQ pretty soon, probably this weekend. My consideration would be USB3.0 and maximum 16GB ram support on N53JQ. Huge memory is good for me to run multiple virtual machines. Here's a nice review on N53JQ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c84UKNzMQII

Good review and model bro,
I saw and tested this model yesterday, very solid design and the sound is very good, But I'm prefer 14" and below. Just curious, If asus cannot control the quality before sell it to customer, how about hte quality after sale??

No comment on after sales as this would be my 1st time on Asus, used Compaq, ThinkPad & Dell before, only Dell need repair after MOBO die 1 month before 3 years warranty expired Previously was considering Dell XPS, but decided to get Asus after try out the N53JQ, really like the solid built very much. Any how, I will be getting it from shop with good reputation on after sales service (Swisspac, Penang), so not much worry on that.

If you mean warranty services, you send it to the service centre directly instead of the shop you bought it from..

How much you get for this model bro? My shop here want to sell me RM3850 without any free give...

Price listed was RM3999 with bag, mouse + other freebies, but I haven't go to the shop yet, will update here once I get it.

Which driver version you install ?

You do know that the shops send it to the same service centre also right? It takes even longer to service if you rely on the shops because they need time to send it and they have other customers in queue as well, based on my experiences, the shops normally ask you to go send it to service centre yourself because it's much faster that way...

A42J disassembly guide

Before doing anything, get a small head Philips screwdriver, a small nailclipper, and short plastic ruler. Make sure you have ample space to do your work and make sure you know which screw goes where because not all are the same size. So better put the screw on its segment and position.

First turn off your laptop (duh), disconnect power cord if it runs on adapter, close the lid, turn your laptop upside down and remove batteries if you put the batteries on. Unscrew both the access panels, RAM and HDD pictured below. Two screw on each.



Next look on optical disk drive (ODD) side, there are three screw pictured below, unscrew it and you could slide the optical drive out.



Underneath the ODD there is three small screw, pictured below. Unscrew it as well.



Now we focus on harddrive section, there is 4 screw (colored red) holding the HDD bracket pictured below. Unscrew it and you could slide the drive out to the right and remove it. There is also two case screw (colored orange), unscrew that as well



You should have 24 screw; 2x RAM cover, 2x HDD cover, 4x HDD bracket, 3x ODD bracket, and 13x case screw.
Now turn laptop upright again, open the lid and now we going to remove the keyboard. Get ready your plastic ruler. You could use anything but I strongly suggest you follow mine because if you use metal the plastic lip holding the keyboadr could break because its VERY VERY delicate and broke off easily. There is 4 tabs holding the keyboard, on top of ESC key, F5 key, between F10 and F11 and Delete key.

Gently push the ruler in, and push the tab inside to the case(the OPPOSITE of what pictured below) and slowly lift the keyboard up exactly like pictured below. If it won't go DON'T FORCE IT! Do again to remove the tab holding the keyboard. It should come out easily. My recommendation: Do it from left to right and put something to hold it up when you lift the tab so it won't lock back into place when you move to the next tab



When all the tabs are out, gently lift the keyboard 45 degree but be careful because there is keyboard ribbon underneath. There should be a yellow sticker covering the keyboard ribbon tab. Remove it and push out the tab pictured below. Do one side and then do the other. Pull the ribbon out gently via the blue plastic tab on the ribbon and your keyboard is free



Before getting excited removing the screw, do the same on touchpad ribbon underneath.



Now you could remove the screw pictured below. Make sure you don't mix the screw together because this is different and there is two longer screw (colored orange) as well. The yellow circle is where the chipset is



Done that and now lets focus on laptop hinge. There is a small hole on both side of the hinge, this is where you start to remove the front case. Put the end of the nail clipper (NOT the sharp part, look at blunt side) pictured below. Push it and lift it up. When it start to lift use your nail from opposite side (circled orange) to remove the case. My tip: Remove one side first and move to the other, preferably right. Gently but firmly remove it. It should make scary sound but don't worry because that is just the clip holding the upper part to the lower part



Unfortunately I had something else to do so on the laptop so I don't do full disassembly. Maybe next time. To assemble, do everything in reverse

Wow...thanks for the really helpful guide.

I wonder what MXM class slot the GT335M uses.

Maybe can mod it to a GTX260M

I'm positively sure its soldered to the motherboard. Most budget laptop are

Well, I'll take a looksie if I have time and get back to you on that one.
