Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your Asus Zenbook flip UX360C is having complications, including taking a long time to retrieve files, taking a long time to save files, crashing during the booting stage, needing to be restarted often due to corrupted files, or running slowly due to lack of storage space, use this guide to replace the solid-state drive in the laptop.
The solid-state drive is the part in the laptop that allows you to store and use data. A solid-state drive has the same exact functions as a hard drive. They are both used to store and access data, but a solid-state drive allows you to access your storage almost instantly instead of having to search for the information.
If you are having to restart your laptop often due to corrupt files, do not just assume that you need to replace your solid-state drive. There are various other factors that could be leading to these corrupted files. If you are worried that you may experience data loss trying to fix the corrupted files yourself, you should take your solid-state drive to a professional so they can safely retrieve your stored information. If this is the only symptom your computer is experiencing, it is likely due to a different factor. However, if your laptop has the symptom of constantly needing restarted paired with the other symptoms listed earlier in the introduction, then it is likely that your solid-state drive needs replaced.
There are some precautions that you should take while working through this guide. The guide specifies that you need an anti-static wrist strap to wear during this procedure. This wrist strap will ground your body so that there is less of a chance of electrostatic discharge. This electrostatic discharge could damage your computer so you want to try to avoid it.
This guide requires the unscrewing of and prying apart certain parts of the laptop using the tools listed in the guide. Do not use a large amount of force when doing these tasks as some of the parts inside the laptop are delicate and can be easily broken. Lastly, make sure that your laptop is turned off and that it is not connected to a power source before you begin this procedure.
