Oh.. i thought if it is a B&M can be compatible with M type you shown me:



"For example, M.2 modules with two notches in B and M positions use up to two PCI Express lanes and provide broader compatibility at the same time, while the M.2 modules with only one notch in the M position use up to four PCI Express lanes; both examples also support SATA storage devices. Similar keying applies to M.2 modules that utilize provided USB 3.0 connectivity"
More info: here

Does it means that B&M can also be supported?

No, it doesn't.

meaning i have to change the LCD ?
can i DIY ? hehe

Heh, finally ASUS come with new ROG line with new feature.

Talk about that big water cooler for lappy. I wonder if it can support my G73J

riku2replica I get what you mean now.

That means either XP941 or SM951 should be a compatible SSD for G501JW.

So it is confirm that G501JW-CN117H have an extra M.2 PCIE x4 slot?
How come all retail shop and their supplier says CN117H don't have the M.2 slot? Weird...

Too risky, i wouldn't do that.

Nope, there's the proprietary port like the alienware amplifier... But actually i would prefer if it does 2 things since its so bulky...
1) Water Cooling
2) Speaker( yes, laptop speaker are known to be soft in events...)

Yes. GL552, G501, G751 does uses the M.2 PCIe x4 SSD.

I would like to know more about g501jw.
What's your experience so far?
Do you guys have any problem so far?
Would you guys recommend it?

No one reported owning it yet. My analysis are solely base on Reliable reviews and User Manual.

Thanks for the advice riku! Looks like have to spend some money ask other ppl change for me. Any one to recommend for people doing laptop LCD replacement for my G55VW ? and roughly how much it will cost? If u guys know any please intro TQVM

Nope, i don't have any contact on that. If I'm capable of doing so, I would've open a laptop repair shop.

Ah. It's not me alone. My screen have that Red horizontal dead pixel on the screen as well.. It's on the right side. Heavy usage(rarely switch off my laptop and always have people using it either playing games/movies/work even if im not at home )

I might DIY to change the screen. Depends on my freetime. But still needs to get screen replacement. Maybe taobao?

Then it would be good for u 2 to bulk order it. But quote from Asus Service centre in case they included servicing and parts warranty?

I'll give a call to Asus SC later today or tomorrow for price quotation. Probably if i go to Asus SC i might aswell ask for daughter board repair/replacement (was too clever before ripped my g55 and i think damage the cable) and also my HDMI port is now not working. probably change mobo =.="

OMG i guess it's like a whole set of G55? minus dvd/hdd/ssd/ram/keyboard. Might aswell ask to change my speaker now got cracking sound =.="

wai- what have you done?
In that case probably you're better off with new laptop.

Way back was too excited. repaste thermal. add/switch ram. remove dvd rom (put in caddy for more storage). Gatal tangan. So i ended up losing alot of screws (no problem), spoil daughter board cable or the port connecting to the mobo/hdmi don't know how spoil, maybe i was too rough? haha. Now screen got nice red line of dead pixel on the right side from top to bottom!

I am already considering to buy a new lappy. but i spend too much on my car =.=" now have to wait for "donation". anyone wants to give me?

probably you may "have" pulled the LCD ribbon with "additional" force.

to be exact, when i remove the ribbon i simple cabut the whole clip thing.. instead of just flip it up. I knew something was wrong when i completely cabut that ribbon clip~. Coz when i want put it back together, already lose. I think i broke something already~ (i show horns how i did~ he simply went )

that's ur mistake, the ribbon should be pull only the ribbon, the clip should be attached to the board. IINM, G56JR also has this ribbon before accessing motherboard.

We only learn when we make mistake.. how i comfort myself. hahaha

haha i guess u really need a new one then my bro just bought one GL552JX so easy to add SSD not like G55 need to cabut the whole motherboard to add one SSD and so much lighter than mine. for me i think i will use until the LCD GG since got external LCD to use for now. if not i will wait for "donation". hehe
