Lift up the screw cover located on the memory cover.

Remove the screw. Lift up and remove the memory cover.

Under the cover you’ll find one memory module.

Asus Eee PC 1015PX netbook has only one memory slot.

This laptop can take 2GB RAM maximum.

Memory type: DDR3 PC3-10600 or DDR3 PC3-8500.

STEP 4.

Remove four screws located in the battery compartment.

STEP 5.

Start separating the keyboard assembly from the netbook base.

You can use a piece of soft plastic to separate two parts (I”m using a guitar pick).

There are small plastic latches securing the keyboard assembly.

STEP 6.

Lift up the top side of the keyboard assembly and slide it towards the screen.

Be careful. The keyboard still connected to the motherboard.

STEP 7.

Now you can access the keyboard cable connector which is located under the keyboard.

Before removing the keyboard you’ll have to unlock the connector and release the cable.

STEP 8.

Here’s how to unlock the keyboard cable connector.

Move the white locking tab about 1 millimeter towards the netbook display.

The locking tab must stay attached to the connector base.

The cable jammed between the locking tab and base.

STEP 9.

On the following picture the connector shown in the unlocked position.

Now the cable is released and you can pull it from the connector.

Now you can pull the touchpad cable from the connector.

STEP 14.

Start separating the top cover assembly from the netbook base.

I’m using the same guitar pick as a case cracker.

STEP 15.

Remove the top cover assembly.

STEP 16.

Under the top cover you can access the following internal parts:- Cooling fan.- Wireless card.- Hard drive.- CMOS battery.- Card reader/USB board.

As you see, in Asus Eee PC 1015PX netbook the DC power jack soldered to the motherboard. If the DC jack fails, it will benecessary to remove the motherboard for the jack repair.

While the top cover is removed, take a look inside the cooling fan. If the fan looks dusty, blow off the dust using canned airor air compressor.

STEP 17.

The hard drive mounted under two cables connecting the USB board with the motherboard.

Disconnect both cables from the USB board.

Unlock both connectors the same way you unlocked the touchpad connector in the step 12.

Remove both cables from connectors.

STEP 19.

The hard drive has been removed.

My Asus Eee PC 1015PX netbook had a regular 2.5″ 250GB SATA hard drive installed. You can replace it with any otherlarge capacity 2.5″ SATA hard drive or SSD.

This is testament that Asus doesn’t want you to replace the hard drive. Plus one slot for RAM. Instead they want youto buy a new netbook. Shame on you Asus.

Thank you

Hi;Thanks for the instructions. They were quite useful in disassembling my Asus Eee PC 1015PED.

Your instructions, however, are missing two very crucial steps at the very start. Removing the four screws inside thebattery compartment is not enough to detach the top end of the keyboard. You need carry out two additional steps:

1. The three tabs above the screws in the battery well. They need to be gently pryed out.2. Two retaining clips at the bottom of the side walls of the battery well. These need to be pushed in with a small flat

screw driver.

Only after these two steps you can start removing the keyboard with the guitar pick as you have described.

Best regards.Omer

Thanks for the article.But my Eee PC 1015 seem to have a different problem. I was working with it when suddenly the internet networkfailed. I decided to watch movie with it till it was restored. When the network came back, I tried typing but then Idiscovered that only few keys were working.The spacebar was only changing the power mode. other alphabet keys areserving as arrow keys and most of the alphanumeric keys show different things when typing but it shows they areworking. Please what can I do and my laptop has this arabic signs on it which I dont understand there meaning.Hope to hear from

Thanks! The 1015PX looks similar to my 1225B except that the keyboard and touchpad make one piece. It would benice if somebody coud disassemble 1225B. There are two screws under the battery and two under the RAM cover (theRAM modules are soldered to PCB though making the RAM cover totally useless).

@ Carlos,Yes this is the only keyboard connector.Look inside the connector. Maybe you got some dirt stuck in there? Just guessing.
