Hello! Thank you for information!
I have a question… is the “receptor of ethernet” a module?
I mean, if the motherboard is changed, can that module be switched to the new motherboard, so that the MAC Address will remain the same?
Thank you!
Battery need to take out before update ram?
Yes, just disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard, you do not need to remove the battery.
SOS – My issue is Windows and iTunes having a fit over the 128Gb/1Tb factory and I’d like to update them to 1Tb SSD/5Tb SATA combo. I already checked the ASUS/ROG site(s) to no avail and I’m you’ll happen to know if a 15mm thick HDD could replace the 1Tb 2ndary/data drive.
Usually, the laptop does not support a 15mm hard drive. There is another way to add a hard drive. You can remove the optical drive and then add a hard drive in the optical drive bay.
