ASUS X542UN-SH71 Upgrades

[meonthewebtoo]

Hi All - I am looking to upgrade my newly bought ASUS X542UN laptop. ASUS support is useless as they won't provide any information.

I am adding an SSD and purchased a M.2 however I am having difficulty opening the case up. I've removed all the screws from the case but can't get the top off. I have ordered a spudger tool set which should arrive by Friday.

Any videos or step-by-step on how to get this open would be appreciated.

Thanks,

M

Yes - that helps immensely! So I need to take the "top" off of the computer vs going in from underneath. Nice design. NOT!
