To assemble it back.. juz read the post backwards and you should be fine.. GOOD LUCK !!




EXTRA :::
some times when you are removing the cable in pic 10.. this cable might come loose also. juz check it before you assemble the top case or you wont be able to power on the machine.

If anything goes wrong.. dun flame me.. ill try to help, but if its major i guess ASUS service centre is the only option.

I summarize everything into here.. easier to see and read ..

Derp. the msata slot is behind the board, u have to take out quite a number of screws, and there is not guarantee if u would snap anything.

I stand up again from grieve, let's roll with all your guys, fight for my dream with this machine !!!!
