Introduction

Follow this guide if you need to replace the hard drive of your Asus Zenbook UX303L. The hard drive is the part of the computer where all the data is stored on the computer. Whether your hard drive is failing or needs a storage upgrade, this guide will show you step by step how to remove and replace your hard drive. It is important to remember when working on any computer to wear an anti-static wrist band so that any static electricity doesn’t damage the internal components of the computer.

Remove all nine screws from the bottom of the device using a T5 screwdriver.

Step 3

Remove the five screws attaching the battery pack by using a PH-1 screwdriver.

Step 4

Unhook the black, red, and white switch using the tweezers.

Step 5

Detach the positive and negative black, white, yellow, and red switch with the use of tweezers.

Remove the 3 screws surrounding the hard drive using the PH-1 screwdriver.

If your model has never been opened, you might have this "cushion sticker" that makes it difficult to unplug the hard drive. You can just peel it and put it back later.
