Introduction

This guide will step you through replacing the battery in the Asus X555LA.

    • Remove the following Phillips #0 screws from the lower case:

    • Six 9 mm screws

    • Four 11 mm screws

    Screws are 9mm instead of 90mm.

    Also the 2 screws in the back corner (screen attachement side) have a slighlty bigger diameter (9mm in length as well) so they are not to be mixed with others 9mm lenght screws.

    thank you, thank you for your comment. It's the only place on the entire www that makes that clarification.

    are these screw sizes accurate. im looking for 9mm and 11mm screws for the asus x555la laptop also whats the M size of the screw ? cant seem to find the right screws online.

    says remove 10 screws (SCREW M2.5*8L, SCREW M2*12L, SCREW M2*9L) on the bottom case.

    It looks like there was an image of which was which but it’s not showing for me!!

    A base screw pack for Asus x555l laptop on eBay says: The pack contains 2x8mm 4x12mm 4x9mm !!

    davidafloat -

    Just wondering where is 11mm located? Is it on the middle? And the rest of 9mm are on the corners?

    • Use the plastic opening tool to separate the top cover from the laptop.

    • Start by prying on the front of the laptop.

    • Continue prying around the cover and end just under the screen to release the front cover.

    • Do not fully remove the top cover, it is attached by two ribbon cables that will be disconnected in the following steps.

    On my X555LA there seems to be a center snap or two that won't release. Edges are all free on all sides, but somewhere in the middle it's tied down with no give.

    It finally came loose, after one of two center snaps broke. It seems you are supposed to push the bezel slightly back towards screen as you start to lift it. Lift it too much at first, and they catch vigorously.

    tmaccabe -

    Yes I encountered this problem as well, there are 2 very annoying clips at the center of the keyboard, a little force will be required to release them.

    Nathan Early -

    Actually, after this step there’s a shortcut: go to step 7 (skip 3-6), don’t disconnect the ribbon cable, just peel it off the HDD carefully, move the board aside. Go to step 8, instead of “lifting” slide HDD out. Skip step 9.

    Saves at least 10 minutes and avoids disconnecting cables that don’t need to be disconnected.

    • To release the ZIF latch, flip up the small white tab.

    • The connector may have a white base with a small grey rotating latch.

    • Pull the white ribbon cable out of the socket to disconnect it.

    • Very little force should be required to pull out the cable.

    • To release the ZIF latch on the keyboard cable, flip the grey rotating tab up.

    • Gently pull the black and blue ribbon cable out of its connector.

    Beim wieder Zusammenbauen bekomme ich die Lasche nicht wieder verankert, sie hat keinen Halt.. wird sie eingeklemmt oder funktioniert das irgendwie anders? Danke!

    nana.belke -

    this step can be omitted: you can remove the disk even without disconnecting the black and blue ribbon cable out of its connector.

    giulia lizzani -

    This step can be omitted if you can prop the keyboard up and get access to the disk screws with a screwdriver, not entirely easy.

    It’s probably best to release the ribbon cables. Flip up the narrow grey clamps, up beyond the vertical, and slip the cables out.

    To put them back in, keep the clamp strips up, then push the flat cables in. They go in 4 or 5 mm. Then rotate the clamp strips back down. Give a gentle tug on the cables to make sure they’re firmly held.

    • You can now fully remove the keyboard and front panel to gain access to the inside of the laptop.

    front panel and keyboard is saprate item ?

    or

    single item

    deepak diggekar -

    prise this keyboard

    deepak diggekar -

    is pune india avalable

    deepak diggekar -

    And how do you replace the actual keyboard - that's the key point missing here!

    Darren Wogan -

    The keyboard and palm rest seem to need to be replaced as a single item. What about the mouse pad - this is a separate item, held on by three screws, which may well need to be swapped from the old keyboard and palm rest combination. However no mention is made of that here - why not? I thought IFixit was normally meant to be good with this sort of thing.

    Darren Wogan -

    P.S. I bought a combined item (don’t even think about trying to do the keyboard alone). The mousepad does potentially need to be separated from the old keyboard rest and transferred to the new item. There are 3 screws to be undone - though these can be fiddly and stiff. Anyhow, mine was successfully replaced using this approach, including swapping the mousepad over as described.

    Darren Wogan -

    Nice that you posted a few pics, but you need at least a dozen more to really show people how to open this laptop. Getting outthe motherboard is not recommended for rookies!

    • Remove the three 5mm Phillips #0 screws securing the battery.

  7. Nsk2dVihvBoywt1P

    • Gently remove battery from casing. The battery should remove easily.

    • Replace with new battery.

    The battery slips out towards you. Lift gently as in the photo and pull it horizontally. It reveals a number of metal prongs that normally reside inside the battery.

    As with most components, treat the prongs carefully. Gently align them with the receptacle in the new battery and they should slip in easily.

Great and easy explanation! THANK YOU!

If the Asus f555la battery is buying at Chennai,if any availability?? Response to [email protected].

Tommy Kumar -

Hmmm. A couple of the screw lengths look a bit suspect. At step 1, the six 90mm screws? That’s nearly four inches long!! And at step 6, three 50mm screws? I haven’t started this yet, but my guess is that the respective lengths should be 9mm and 5mm respectively. But apart from that, the article reads very well; just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Albert -

how many hours will this battery last? I bought a new laptop Asus x455L and the fully charged battery only lasts 3 hours. I’ve already adjusted my screen brightness to 40% and turned off WIFI & Bluetooth

Hi, I have exactly that model on which you do the tutorial, I have a question, where is the battery of bios on that motherboard?

Pal Waaktaar -

Help me please

I have a ‘hand-me-down’ from my partners replacement dream fulfillment. Replaced the battery and removed the small flat strap. I figure it is for the touch mouse pad. Since I never use the touch pad, I removed the small frat strap and all appears to be working (less the touch pad of course.)
