Taking Apart an EEE PC

My wife's EEE PC 1000HD died last night. The battery drained and would not recharge. Turns out power never reached the battery. Something went wrong with the power supply.

It didn't take long to find the problem. Unfortunately, Google turned up no hits for dis-assembling the machine. So here's some help!

How To Take Apart an EEE PC 1000HD

1. Unplug the computer. Don't get lazy - you'll regret it.


2. Remove the battery. See your manual for instructions.


3. Remove the 6 screws from bottom.


4. Remove the 3 short screws that were under the battery.


5. Remove the cover on the bottom of the machine.


6. Unscrew the hard drive.


7. Pull out the hard drive using the tab.


8. Turn the EEE PC right side up.


9. Along the top of the keyboard are 4 tabs. Push them back using a small flat head screw driver.


10. Gently pry up the keyboard. It's taped down, so pry it a little.


11. Slide the keyboard up towards the screen slightly. It has tabs on the bottom too.


12. Disconnect keyboard ribbon. I used a pair of needle nose pliers.


13. Remove the keyboard and set it aside.


14. Remove the 6 screws from under the keyboard.


15. Disconnect the two ribbons with tabs. I don't what they do.


16. The top of the EEE PC comes off with a little effort.


17. Remove the screws from the motherboard. Leave in the four screws that hold the fan.


18. Remove The screws that connect the LCD to the motherboard.


19. Pry the edge out slightly where it's over the VGA port.

Do these in reverse to re-assemble your EEE PC.
