ASUS Portable AiO PT2001 Hard Drive Replacement

Step 1 Back Panel




• Remove the grey scuff guard at the bottom of the PC by pressing down on it, and pulling it away.
• Lift the hinge and remove the grey rubber tabs on either side of the PC’s model information.
• Remove the two 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws beneath the rubber tabs under the hinge and the four 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws where the scuff guard was removed.
• Remove the two 4.74mm Phillips #1 screws under the hinge (near the hinge joints) and a 4.74mm Phillips #1 screw under the handle.
Step 2




• Use 1-2 plastic opening tools or nylon spudgers to firmly pry open the back panel.
• We recommend that you start prying the panel where the scuff guard was removed.
• Prying the back panel will cause loud popping noises. This is just the sound of the clips that hold the back panel to the PC popping off.
• Using excess force while prying can break the clips that hold the back panel and can damage the ports on the side of the PC.
Step 3
• Disconnect the three cables connecting the back panel ports to the motherboard.
• Flip up the locking latch holding the two ribbon cables with a plastic opening tool and pull the cables out.
• Gently wiggle the third connector out of its socket.
Step 4 Hard Drive
• Remove the four 5.0 mm Phillips #1 screws on the outer casing of the hard drive.
Step 5
• Gently pull the hard drive away to disconnect it from the motherboard.
Step 6
• Remove the four 3.5 mm Phillips #1 screws on the edges of the outer casing, two on each side.
Step 7
• Separate the hard drive from the casing.
