Asus ZenBook VX5015 Tear Down - Hinge Top Lid Repair and Replacement

In this video I show how to repair and replace the hinges and top lid of an Asus ZenBook VX5015 laptop. This laptop was dropped by the who then brought the computer into my repair shop in Savannah GA. Luckily the fall did not break or crack the screen and the laptop appears to operate normally otherwise. The hinge broke off from the top lid and is protruding through the clutch cover.

This was a big help in replacing the hinge cover, I went through something similar. Asus no longer makes a rear cover for my touch screen, so had to rebuild it with new screen, cover, bezel, webcam and camera/video cable. Also upraded the wireless to the 802.11AC standard. I hate the fact ASUS doesn't have hardware service manuals. Great video, thanks again for the help.

Thank you! Just finished fixing my laptop by following this step by step. And you saved me the hassle by showing me to check for the smaller antennae wires and different right hinge revision. Much appreciated!

Tim, thanks for the video. I appreciate that you show a lot of the little things that one can miss because those are the kinds of things that always get me stuck. I think that this repair is more complicated than I want to attempt myself but that, also, is good information.

Always the way with laptops, just when you think it's fixed one little wire crops up and says "hey, I don't belong here" so you have to take it all apart again, had a few like that myself. FYI I find it handy to take pictures of the internals before disassembly just for a reference to how all wires sit. Good vid as always ;)

I revert back to the footage if something does not seem right or I can't quite remeber. That vid cable seemed right when installing but turns out to be not the case. Later in the video I hit 2 more bumps. End up going backwards 3 times. But I got it right in the end. Thanks for the comment GS

Great video Tim . That was hard work , I to have been caught out with revision changes , can not work out wether it's to improve the computer or to cut cost so the OEM can make more money. Keep up the good work Tim

Not sure but sometimes it is really hard to determin if you are getting the right part as a number may be off by one or two. Can't always trust the picture they show as what they send may be a different version. I got lucky with this one.

Hey, Tim, great video! Thanks for that. (Love your icecube tray complete with paint-tape labels for those little bits and pieces that not only wanna get lost....but won't "tell you" where they go back, even if you DO have them in your hand! LOL Lastly, just curious what the "average/typical" charge would be for a repair like this? (I understand that they're "all different".....but just trying to get a "feel" for what I'm looking at costwise for a repair, vs replacement. I have a cracked screen as WELL as a broken hinge on my Asus UX360CA. Amazingly, the PC WILL still operate, but only if I hold the "lid" in one, precise position.........so, it's GOTTA be fixed or replaced. (I'm just trying to sort out the "lesser of two" dollar figures...ALL IN...including possible shipping of the unit, etc.) Thanks again, Tim. Great work.

I just JB welded mine back into place after watching another video. Couldn't find the top cover anywhere. Even if I would have found a new one I would have reinforced the crap out of the new one with JB before I put it back together so it doesn't happen again.

@michaelscott356 3 жыл бұрын

Good decision, as it seems "hinge breakage" is chronic with these Asuses! (As lovely and STREAMLINED as they are! I suspect it's that lightweight, low-profile design that IS the major culprit in their frequent breakage.) :-(

@iganpparamarta8813 Жыл бұрын

ASUS should up their hinge design. My S410 laptop and with hundreds other S series had broken left hinge from daily use, even with no falling nor bumps. Really annoying. and this UX501 is supposed to be a premium laptop, 2 times the price of mine and its hinge also broken. But it's from a fall so maybe a bit forgiven.

Someone is charging me 200 dollars for this repair, with the part price included. Is that a reasonable price or can I just do this myself? Keep in mind I know my way around repairing stuff. I just don't know a price range.

$200.00 is reasonable.
