Battery Replacement on an Asus Q524U

Time Required

Introduction

I am providing a proposal to replace and fix the current battery in my Asus Q524U personal computer. I have only owned this computer for a relatively short period of time, although the battery has already gone bad due to continuous overcharging and must be replaced. I intend to produce a comprehensive guide that will list all required tools/parts to complete the project along with detailed steps explaining the entire process. This will be an easy to follow guide that will help people replace their old computer battery for less money and extend their laptops lifespan that much longer.

Required Equipment: Torx T5 screwdriver; #00 Philips screwdriver; Opening/prying tool; new computer battery.

    • Remove all 10 screws from the backplate of the computer using a Torx T5 screwdriver.

    • Make sure to keep all screws in a safe place, they are small and it is very easy to lose track of them.

    • Use the prying tool to help maneuver and separate the back plate off of the computer safely. This will expose important hardware and internal parts.

    • Pull lightly on the blue tabs until the silver bridge is safely free.

    • Once the bridge is removed the battery is then accessible.

    • Get a #00 Philips head screwdriver ready for use.

    • Carefully remove the #00 Philips screws to release the battery from the computer.

    • Locate the connector for the computer battery and circuit board.

    • Carefully pull up on the connection to safely disconnect the battery.

    This was the closest battery connector to my Asus Zenbook UX31A. I used the flat-head-style plastic-tool “jimmy” (opposite the spudger) to get under the wires and in between the connector and the motherboard. rotating the jimmy on the right and then on the left released the two plastic tabs. Good luck to anyone working with this computer.

    • Carefully replace with a new battery and reassemble the computer with all previously used screws.

I'll appreciate your help.

Hello I want to ask. I’m trying to replace the battery and im at the part with the blue strip for the Silver bridge part is out how do I put it back on?

Devon Jones -

How did you determine you had to replace the battery. My green charging light won’t turn on and I’ve replaced the charger, but still nothing. Could this be due to a bad battery?
