awesome video it helped me 12 years later

Thanks for this video! Some tips for others doing this: If you're careful you don't need to remove the large keyboard ribbon cable, it's tricky to reattach so I suggest not removing it. Among the 12 screws some of them have different lengths, so I recommend laying them out on a table as you remove them so you can remember which screw goes where. When removing the ribbon cables that run over the HDD, you only need to disconnect them on the right hand side and then you can hold them out of the way while removing the drive.

Awesome video! Wow, I am a thirty year veteran of the service industry and I would have had a hell of a time with this if not for your very clear tutorial, very well done. I would caution those who are not techies to be careful of those ribbon connectors, the ones that flip up. They are fragile and if you break it your screwed. Thanks for the great post.

Magnificent guide! Replacing the battery for the BIOS was very easy and safe now. Thank you.

Breathed some new life into an old but still useful and usable machine thanks. Also tested my tech skills - especially with ribbon connectors, which were entirely new to me and took a bit of careful fiddling.

Many thanks Tim. That was excellent. I speak as a retired Tech teacher. Full marks and subscribed :))

Outstanding video, very clear and precise . . . coulda really screwed this up despite being a geek and PC builder (age 69). Just switched out another ASUS netbook's Windows XP for a fresh install of Windows 7 - very impressed with the results. These netbooks are what they are, i.e., not rocket ships but their long battery life makes them excellent grabs for waits at the doctor, etc.

This was me just winging it while I recorded. Alot of time was edited out of this video believe me. Thanks for watching.

Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching.

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

thanks man, used this guide to upgrade my mothers lappy with a 120gb ssd, cloned it through usb before opening the thing, worked like a charm and super fast :D

Very nice video Tim

Thanks for that... saved my life...had to take an Eee apart after wife spilled coffee on hers...PC stopped! Quick application of hair dryer saved the day....!!!!

Thanks very good video actually one of the best laptop repair ones ive seen saved me hours!

One of the best videos on this laptop upgrade. Thanks.

thx very useful. Just two add on: first two screws inside are a bit shorter while there are two marked on the plastic with M2xL6 which a bit longer. Separate them and remember for reassembling. One thing not clear to me was that you have to lift up the dark plastic of each female flat socket in order to make the flat cable released form the socket. With the exception of the first socket where you have to slide the dark plastick!

Thank you for your video. I've replaced hard drive properly, although I've found different disposition of components.

Thanks a lot for this great manual. Didn't find one for the r011px first, but this one is all the same. Thought I do it on my one but with this video it was much easier. Had to remove the harddisk from my mothers eee pc to rescue data. Probably motherboard broken.

Thanks, really useful information. I'm trying to repair my own Asus 1015px

Glad the video helped. I order all of my hard drives in bulk from Infotel inc.

Thanks Timster ran across this video and was exactly what I was looking for. You should do a guest spot with the AAA crew its been a long time.

Thank you very much for this detailed guide!

so absolutely perfectly useful in every way. saved me so much time and guessing and hassle. great guide.

Thank you helped me ! it was difficult to change the drive to SSD performed well thank you .

I had the same problem. Tried several suggestions and finally bought 'Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit' for under $20 from Amazon and it cloned the old drive exactly before exchanging. All passwords, emails and programs came across perfectly. The only difference was that the netbook ran MUCH faster!

Thank you very much, Tim: your video saved me much time & effort

Great video and tips! It makes my job much easier.

Very good tutorial, but the video skips around 4:36 and misses a vital bit of information! You have to remove the yellow sticker that has a warranty void warning . This exposes a 13th screw which has to be removed. A few seconds later on the video it zooms in to show the label broken. Other than that, it is very helpful. Thank you!!

Wow that sure brought back some memories. On a side note though; there are two metal strips on each side of the hdd that function as a hard-drive caddy. You need to unscrew those and replace 'em on the new ssd.

Your handwork is very skillfully. Tanks :)

I would NEVER have worked that out! Thanks.

Very useful , thanks man from Asuncion, Paraguay, South America, I need to do a backup of the hard drive, but outside the EeePC, so this video was so useful, especially for the "pressure points".... Just a little comment about there are just 10 screws to remove... you remove 2 more... i think the screw 1 and 2 can stay in they places... lol.. is nothing but again THANKS!

awesome video. apart from putting 12 screws again and battery cover's 4 screws ... I sucessfully upgraded its 250 GB hdd with another 500 GB hdd. Not only that The keyboard started working again. your video saves me the new cost of asus eeepc 1510 keyboard, repairing charges and again replacement charges for that 500GB hdd. chears!!!

Thanks for the tutorial, its been really helpful

2022... and that video helped me a lot...thanks for that

Just what I was looking for THANKS

Installing windows on my new drive way faster than I thought I would be! The only problem I had was figuring out the ribbon cable connectors.

This video helps me a lot! Thank you!

Thank you. Routine worked OK.

thanks a lot for sharing this clear tutorial!

Wow Tim, A real unusual design for a netbook. Glad you posted this, Great Job. Where did you get the "How To" on this one?

Andrew, you need to load the windows iso. I would connect a usb dvd drive and boot to a windows disk that way. You can also install windows with a usb thumb drive.

I think you are talking about the retention clip for the keyboard ribbon cable no? If you then I can do a quick video on how to improvise if you do not have another clip. hanks for watching.

Guys its really awesome. Thanks for this video!!!

Thankyou, this helped a lot! Much appreciated.

Thanks! I have to change BIOS battery so works for me. Thanks again.

Time saved, many thanks.

Great video, helped me a lot. Does this notebook has only one speaker?

Great tutorial Thanks!!!

Excellent video. Thank you.

It is possible. Just remove the drive and place it in a usb external hard drive enclosure. You should be able to get your files that way. Thanks for watching.

Can you do a video for this same model but the Cooling Fan version?. it seems trickier and I want to know how to do a good job of it

Thanks for watching.

hi !!! my ASUS eeee pc 1015px netbook , they broken plastic clips for the band connect to the keyboard . could you tell me how to fix it , thank for your help

Thank you, helpful video =D

You will not void warranty just removing the keyboard unless you damage something in the process.

I sure wish as part of replacing the hard drive you would have shown or explained how to install a new OS since the old OS left when you removed the hard drive.

很实用，谢谢。

Me ayudo mucho gracias

Will i lose warranty after removing the keyboard? thx

Once you change the harddrive how do you get windows 7 back on there?

Hey, my EEE PC won't power on. I took out the battery and pressed the power button for about a minute and tried again. Power won't turn on. There's apiece of Crucial RAM on the bottom, but I don't know to take it out. Do you have a solution to why the power won't turn on?

Thank you !!!

Thank you so much

Es de 1.8 o 2.5"?? Gracias.

Thanks, man!

It's possible for me to replace the HDD with SSD?.

Hello! Is it 7.0 mm or 9.5 mm?

Thanks a lot!

After doing this, it said no boot device selected or something like that. I Installed an ADATA SSD harddrive. Do you know if maybe it's not possible to switch the preinstalled harddrive to an ADATA one?

THANKS!
