In order to remove the bottom cover, you need first to remove all the screws that secure the bottom cover, then insert a plastic sheet or an old credit card between the bottom cover and the body, and then slowly move the plastic sheet to use the latch to detach from the body.
After the bottom cover is removed, you can access most of this notebook’s internal components, including the battery, SSD, memory, cooling system, speakers, motherboard, and so on. At this step, you can upgrade the memory and SSD, but before touching any internal components, please disconnect the battery cable.
The ROG Zephyrus M15 GU502 uses a cooling system called Glacier, which includes dual 12V fans, 6 copper tubes, and 4 air vents. It also comes with a plate that covers the surrounding power chips and video memory.
This notebook has a 16GB DDR4 3200MHz memory soldered on the motherboard and has a free SO-DIMM slot. I installed a 16G BDDR4 3200MHz memory to form a dual channel.
It comes with the Intel 660P 512GB, which is Intel’s first SSD with QLC particles. There is also a free M.2 slot at the bottom of the memory, so you can add another M.2 SSD.
The ASUS GU502 has a 15.4V, 76Wh battery. According to ASUS data, it can support 8 hours of local video playback or 6.5 hours of web browsing.
Hi and Salam,
I am facing an issue after I got my M15 back from a repair and the issue is that my Keyboard is not lighting up. All keys are working just not lighting up. No white, no RGB, nothing at all. I am not sure whether whether the BESTBUY guys forgot to plug in something or it is a software thing. Please guide me. I have tried every software update there was. If possible let me know if there is a cable I can check in the back.
The keyboard of this notebook has two types: backlight and non-backlight. You should confirm whether your notebook keyboard has backlight or not.
Hi I need a motherboard for this machine. My machine wont turn on at all. Sent it to a repairer but said the motherboard is faulty
Hi, i want to remove the bios battery, but i dont find it in this model, can you help me?
Why do you need to remove the CMOS battery? Most laptops nowadays don’t have a CMOS battery anymore, most of them have a 3.3V output from the laptop battery to supply the CMOS circuit, so there is no need to have a separate CMOS battery.
Hello,
I had a bios update on this laptop and my computer never would post again. I am assuming somehow it got corrupted. I am trying to find a way to flash the bios but what I have tried has not worked. I have changed my ram and disconnected the battery with holding the power button for 40 seconds but that hasn’t worked. Please help me save my laptop as it is 2 months out of warranty and they will not help me.
Please go to the ASUS website to download the factory BIOS for this laptop and then restore it to the factory BIOS.
After disconnecting the battery I went on to replace the RAM module with a 32G RAM module. However, after assembling the system again it won’t power back on.
I put back the original RAM but it won’t power back on at all. Completely dead.
Any advice?
