Very nice post!
What is the thing next to the coin? Is it important?
I’m thinking about getting the laptop and replacing the optical drive with a real blu-ray burner.
😉
If you ask me, the tiny thing next to the coin looks like a antenna connector for Wireless, but missing the antenna itsself (a wire with defined length).
That little connector is 1 of 2 RF connectors that connect to the wifi assembly. They go up into a diversity antenna that is mounted within the display. When removing the display, be sure that these connectors are disconnected first–pretty much any stress on the wires will pull them right out of the connectors. I know this from experience.
Very well done!
Recently I had a severe battery pack problem with my ASUS G751:
Running on as well as battery charging did not work.
This is one of the famous cases where trial and error won’t work,
as you would run into the danger of losing your machine within
a fraction of a second.
With your guide in hand and doing it step by step I succeded in
replacing the battery pack.
Not to forget the really good feeling when suddenly after all
everything worked without any problem.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Umm, wouldn’t that chip claimed to be the CPU be the chipset? In the shot with the 980m you can see that the 4710HQ is next to the GPU with a rectangular die. The chip with the square die surrounded by some black shielding would be the chipset, correct? Also, there is no active cooling to the chipset?
Very good! I recently used this to replace the keyboard assembly. I have one thing to add though: You have also to unscrew 3 mini-screws beneath the optical drive lid. The lid can easily be removed if the drive tray is open.
I was wondering how the keyboard gets taken apart from the frame it is beneath. Is this straight forward or very hard?
Hi!
I am curious about the wlan card slot. Is it m.2 or pci x1
It is M.2 slot.
What type of key has it? M?
Hi,
Is it possible to replace the motherboard originally from Asus ROG G751JM into G751Jy. What are your thoughts about that? Is it going to work or not? Basically, the motherboard has the processor and the GPU of 980m which is powerful (but not > 10 series) and the rest will be the same. Correct me if im wrong.
Thanks
Hi,
I’ve got a problem with my G751jy keyboard, the backlit doesn’t work anymore. Is there a specific cable to check from the keyboard to the mother board? Do I need to replace the full cover with keyboard?
