the black line of tape by the fan on that last part was mind boggling me... haha I took out everything but your video finally saved me

I need to apply new thermal paste. Not excited about how many steps this is. Thank you for the walk through.

Thank you so much! Everyone else told me that since it was a laptop I couldn't upgrade it and I can't afford to buy a brand new computer.

thank you so much for this video! I have a parakeet and for the past 4 years dust and feathers have been working into my laptop. it was really gross! I did read about organizing the screws and decided to draw up a layout and tape the screws where they belong. I'm saving the cards in case I have to go back in again! as I no longer work, I really need to take care of what I already have. again, thank you, thank you, thank you! awesome job!

WoW, Very good job. I, appreciated the video especially the 2nd H/D cable pin dissambly so now I need the re assembly.Thanks

Thanks, I was just looking for a video to properly remove my hard drive. Much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the video.. now here we are in 2021. I'm planning to change the hard drive with the SSD one on this ROG G74SX. A video tutorial would be great! Btw, which one is the system hard drive? The left or right one?

After removong the motherboard do the heatsinks come off easily? Attempting to replace my thermal compound soon.

Thank you for the great video, but I can't find the screw placement reference you mentioned was on your website, thank you again

Awesome!! this vid helped me big time fixing my $1200 paper weight. now its back in action and ready to kick some ass. thanks a million jarcom

Thanks a lot

I have some mother boards on ebay for asus g74sx but don't know which one to choose

thanks you, the "fan part" was dificult but now is fine :P

Could you do a video on how to fix the antennae wire connections?I broke off the antennae wires while changing out the fans.

(Writing from my wifes account) Thank you! sweet video! I hit a bump at the tape on the fan! Thanx a bunch! Keep it up! Lets undust this sucker! :D

Very helpful video. Thank you.

Thanks man. This helped a lot

Thank you so much

Can anybody tell me on the back there’s two vents. I noticed on mine today that there is heat coming out of one of the vents Is one side an intake air and the other discharge or should they bother be blowing out? Trying to find out if I lost a fan or not. Thanks

hi there I need to replace mother board for asus g74sx where should I find the right number for the right replacement on my laptop

scary, I would mess this up somehow.

Thanks for a great video :)

what about the black tape? do you reapply the same one back on or do you have to buy a new one?

my God..I think I will take it somewhere to clean/upgrade it lol. ty

Hi , if i want to remove that sheet under the touchpad, is it really neccessary to do all the steps till 11:30 ?

I like it !

i have an sx74 i replaced its screen with a 1920*1080 one replaced the cpu with i7-2960xm and I use an hp 230watt power adapter. I play World of warcraft so it can reach 50+fps with graphic quality 5

Might you be able to provide a part number for the board/cable assembly that connects the second hard drive to the motherboard? (Shown at 2:13). I've looked high and low and ASUS (Canada) is of NO help!

Has anyone found a good battery replacement? They don’t have it in my country everyone says this old laptop has been decommissioned 😭

Can you sell me the ribbon cable that runs from the Powerbutton fingerboard to the motherboard? Its for the G74SX, just like the one you took apart. The one my client asked me to repair is crimped and the sticker that has the S/N on it is gone. Every supplier is stonewalling me over the S/N. It's a sumitomo-g awm 2896 80c vw-1 10 pin ribbon cable (I count ten contacts on the clips, so I assume its a 10 pin cable). Thank you.

please where is the gtx graphic card ? i want to replace it

What a fucking pain in the ass to just open the back it makes you go thru all that. Ended up breaking the laptop accidentally. Sigh.

I did this and the screen is not working

Nevermind.

How do you live with those dogs barking endlessly?

Who let the dogs out? rotflmao

congratulations you have disgraced a $1,200 laptop
