Great tutorial (by a fellow Aussie). Save me a whole heap of grief as I had the black screen of death and wanted to disconnect the battery. My laptop had 4 long screws and 6 short ones, which I forgot initially which way they went in. Lol. Thanks!!!

Cheers Duncan i find i tend to show our mention the screw size as im doing the repair for this exact reason i find pressing and holding the power button for around 30-40 seconds also helps kill the power

I'm currently trying to upgrade in this same Asus laptop, the stock 128gb M.2 SSD to a new nvme 500gb SSD. Having no luck after the Macrium clone to the new nvme SSD. Windows will not boot and I've already spent many hours reading blogs and trying to figure out what is wrong. The clone seems good and the ASUS bios recognizes the new drive. I suspect there is some issue due to the new drive being nvme. I'm just about ready to say "f*ck it", my time is not worth this aggravation. I've never before had any issue building PCs, installing OS, copies, etc. So, the people saying this is easy no big deal, I'm not seeing it. Just to let you know, before going further down this rabbit hole, lol.

@@bigworldparty I couldn't repair the problem of the laptop that was brought to me, but I can say that it originally shipped with a SATA SSD, so, I suspect that although an NvME is recognized by the BIOS, it won't boot from it. Even the author of this video is showing a SATA SSD. Perhaps you should try a BIOS update. A last thing to do is to do a fresh install on the NvME and see if it boots.

@@christianf5190 Possibly yes, some boot or driver changes are needed to use an nvme drive. My clone and install of an nvme SSD is not working, I can't get the Asus laptop to boot into Windows. I used Macrium free version software, to clone the stock 128gb drive to a USB attached 480gb Patriot M.2 PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD. Once swapped into the laptop, the boot is not successful, and the Macrium boot fixer does not fix the issue. In summary, this is not a simple swap like you normally would do, which previously I have done many times with regular drives.
