Need an Asus Disassembly Manual for A52, K52, X52 Series...Have One Now!

[Jakeman97]

Looking for an Asus Repair/Disassembly Manual for A52,K52,X52 Series Notebook. Asus refused....I even offered to buy it; but Asus claims all their manuals are "intellectual property." WTF....do they really believe they can repair every notebook they mfg. and sell?
Anyone have one of these or know where I can get one please post.
Thanks

Probably going to have a tough time finding one. That's one thing about Dells I like, all their service manuals are online.

What do you need to do with your laptop?

Hi Lanyap,
I'm going to upgrade with an i7 620M and add 4 4Gb more memory. What frosts me the most about Asus is that not only are you able to get Dell service manuals online but you can get Acer, Toshiba and others. Wish I knew that before I bought it. It does work well with the i3 and 4Gb but I know it can do better.
Thanks

Upgrading memory should be easy. Upgrading the CPU is more difficult. You might want to try searching on CPU upgrades for your specific model, like "asus a51-???? cpu upgrade' if you haven't already to see if someone else has done it before and documented it.

I was able to locate a disassembly instruction set for an Asus K Series laptop after much searching. While the K50 Seris is not quite the same as a Series A52, K52, X52 (different battery) it may just work out for upgrade purposes. Thanks for looking at my post. :biggrin:

UPDATE:

Just wanted to post and say I received from ASUS eMail Tech support North America a Disassembly Manual for The K52 Series Notebook which also covers A52, A52F, K52, K52F, X52, X52F models. I am now pleased with ASUS Tech Support. I honestly never had a problem with getting my ASUS desktop motherboard RMAs resolved and their refusal on the manual really had me going. Anyway, all's well that ends well. :biggrin: Then I upgraded the X52F including the Mobo to a ver.2.2
