@Gavri Daniel do you mean it turns back off after that one second? If so, then just check to make sure all the connections are tight and secure and that everything is back where it should be. What did you upgrade specifically, ram, ssd or both?
@@ZackEberly also ty for this video I have the same laptop and also I have a question, should I put extra 8gb ram or shall I put 16gb ram bcz it says dual power something something I guess
Well dual channel ram has double the peak data bandwidth than 2 different types of ram like I did in my laptop. Do I care not really. Should have I cared, yes cuz I could’ve had more performance. I recommend if you want 16gb of ram total. Buy a dual channel ram with each stick being 8gb for a total of 16gb. They’ll just come in a kit like that.
Great video! I am going to add an SSD to mine since it only has the M.2. I just wanted to make sure there was a spot for it before I take this thing apart. Thanks!
@@sarthak1317 By contrast, M.2 is only a connector, which plugs into the PCIe bus interface. Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is a technology for storing data that is fast enough and low-enough latency to connect to the PCIe bus interface via the M.2 connector. This gives you some options. You can get an M.2 drive that accesses the SATA bus instead of the PCIe bus, which is convenient but doesn’t max out the connection speed. Or, you can get NVMe drive that accesses the PCIe bus and gets all the speed and latency benefits that come with that. From what I can tell the fx504 will support either one. NVMe is faster but probably more expensive
@@sarthak1317 there is one slot for m.2 sata ssd (in which currently the hdd is present) and one slot for m.2 nvme ssd. Mind it, you can't add nvme ssd to the slot of the hdd . and neither the sata ssd to nvme slot. hope that helps.
The frame of the disc comes out with only 2 screws (6:52 - the one on the right side of your finger to the right (close to the left speaker) and the other one close to the M.2 screw). Then you can easely remove the HDD from the frame and replace with another one.
Very nice job, you makes seems it very easy, your video inspires me to upgrade my asus laptop, even when I don’t have wide knowledge about informatic themes, thank you!
Always shy about upgrading laptops. Just got a TUF 705DT same style/build and it's exactly the same to upgrade. Nice to have a walkthrough though! Thanks!

Hey thanks for the video! I am about to disassemble my laptop and wanted to know what screwdriver to get for it. What should be the measurements of the screwdriver?
Hey brother, the video is great! I have a question. Is the cloning process mandatory? or can I directly insert the SSD quietly once the Hard Disk has been removed? That you lose the files I do not care, because the PC I have recently and it does not matter. Thanks and have a nice day!
The cloning process is only to save the files... Making a copy of the first hdd to the ssd. You can insert any ssd to a computer to give it more storage.
So I know this is a common problem with this laptop and was wondering if you knew of a way to fix it, every hour or so it freezes and I have to completely restart the computer, task manager doesn’t even work. After I upgraded the ram to 16 gigs it seems to freeze every four hours, so it helped but didn’t solve the problem. Any ideas?
I haven't opened mine yet, and I don't feel like doing so just for exploratory surgery. What is the brand of the stick that comes in the laptop? I can't seem to find that answer and I want to match the sticks' brand and speed before I order the part, let alone attempt to install it.
Hello mate, I consulted ASUS regarding the hardware update; according to their suggestion for my FX504, I'm allowed to install 2 x 16GB DDR RAM by getting rid of 2 x 8GB of DDR RAM. As for SSD, that'd be P3 x 4 256GB M2 2280 NVME P; may I know what's your SSD capacity, and I wanna know if there'll be any space left for an extra HDD?
The clips that hold it together could be broken but the screws would hold in then. Apply some force... maybe take it off line up the front first then pop in sides and then the back.
Nice video man i got the same laptop today i upgrade it with an ssd 970 plus evo and a total capacity of 16 gb ram but the opening time is approximately 10 seconds whats wrong ? How much time do your laptop make to open and close ?
There's nothing wrong with it. My takes longer cuz of more programs. The more cores your CPU has the longer it takes to boot, my gaming desktop says it takes 22 second, Ryzen 3700x, x570, 32GB DDR4 Ram, RTX 2070, WD 500GB NVME M.2
I’m guessing you already have a m.2 ssd as your boot drive. For a 2.5in ssd I’d recommend a Samsung or Kingston ssd. Whatever size storage you want a 500gb cost around 50 dollars.
@@ZackEberly When I bought my laptop I chose a laptop without an SSD (the price was cheaper). So my laptop doesn't have SSD yet. Wow, 50 dollars can get a 500GB SSD. Can you name the brand in detail? Like what Samsung... or what Kingston...
Wait. So you have a hard drive then? Are you sure. You can check by going to task manger and click on the performance tab and click on drive c. Then type in the product number online to see what it is.
Hi can I Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSD 1tb? my laptop is fx504GD i5-8300H and can i use nvme as storage for playing games? or can i install windows there and the game too?
Does enclosure method of cloning works too? Im really scared on doing such stuff and i really need to change my damaged hdd cause its really slowing my laptop and instead i want to change it to ssd.
Not sure what enclosure method is... you mean cloning it to another drive while the HDD is still in your laptop? You can just copy and paste, then change the drive letter to the original drive. Then programs won't know the difference between the new and old drive.
Hey man great video I've just got one question I wanna upgrade the ram on Mine but do I need to replace my current stick with two 8gb or just add another 8 GB and if so what will be a matching stick ?
@@wilkiesxgaming I kinda did answer your question. NO you don't have to replace the current one but there might be some performance lose, and no it won't be a matching stick. You'd have to get dual channel memory
If your using the M.2 slot for your OS like mine, its not an option. But if you only are using the 2.5in slot with a SSD or HDD then you could install it in the M.2 slot.
I'm a little new to all this, do you not have to back up windows and put it on a USB stick to recover once you're done? Or can you literally just put the new components in and be fine?
If your not removing your upgrading the boot drive then you don't need to do anything about windows. In my case, windows was on my m.2 drive and I didn't touch it. I added another SSD for extra storage and I did nothing with windows. If you do want to upgrade your laptop's boot drive then you will need windows installation usb drive. its free with the windows creation tool. Also prolly want a backup of your stuff.

You can use any 2.5in ssd. You want a 8TB ssd go for it. As for the ram, it does work how most upgrades work in the way that your thinking. The laptop supports 2666MHz (or maybe higher) but that isn’t ever going to change. As long as you get the right version and speed/capacity that’s all you need.

@@ZackEberly how do you clone a hdd? Could you possibly make a video on that or can you tell me where I can find a good video explaining it? Thanks for the response btw
@@pebbles9649 There are 2 ways to clone. Software and hardware. Hardware is using a cloning device and is easy to use but cost around 50 dollars. Software is free and i recommend using EASE US. Here is a video- th-cam.com/video/ixqfH0w_6Xw/w-d-xo.html I'd watch a couple more videos to feel comfortable doing it. I work in IT and have lost a drive because of not following instructions closely.
Honestly I wear socks on carpet, not a good idea, but I don’t touch the motherboard so just don’t touch the PCB. Gloves I guess would help a little especially with keeping everything clean.
Only if you want to clone your existing m.2 ssd. I cloned to save my data on my 2.5in SSD which you don't have, so no. There is no reason for you to clone.
I'm afraid that is a problem with this laptop. Luckily I haven't experienced any problems yet but I'm taking extra care of mine. IF you have it in warranty yet you might be able to get it fixed.
@@ZackEberly bro for how many years do you have the laptop? On mine at the left bottom hinge the red and black plastic is seperating when closing it. Any idea how to fix it?
Hi Zack! I have the same laptop as you. I added a 16Gb DDR4 2666MHz 1.2V HyperX RAM, but I can't get my laptop to read the new memory correctly. The following happens to me: I connect the 16Gb RAM to Slot1, the 8Gb (which came on my laptop) to Slot2 and it detects only 16Gb. Slot1: 8Gb; Slot2: 16Gb; 8Gb is detected Slot1: 16Gb; Slot2: 16Gb; 16Gb is detected (both are the same RAM that I mentioned at the beginning of the message) Slot1: 16Gb; Slot2: empty; 8Gb is detected. I do not understand what's happening. I asked a friend for help and he helped me update the BIOS but it did not solve the problem. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to solve it? Maybe the RAM I bought is not compatible? I hope you read me! Thanks anyway!
That is very weird. So you would get a total of 24gb of ram correct? Check the ram when your in the bios and see what it recognize as, like the speed and the full size. It might be a windows problem not using all the available ram.

@@pebbles9649 There are 2 ways to clone. Software and hardware. Hardware is using a cloning device and is easy to use but cost around 50 dollars. Software is free and i recommend using EASE US. Here is a video- th-cam.com/video/ixqfH0w_6Xw/w-d-xo.html
I'd watch a couple more videos to feel comfortable doing it. I work in IT and have lost a drive because of not following instructions closely.
What is the size of your HDD bracket holder? I don't have a holder to keep the HDD. I want to know the right size.
2.5 inch
Bro can you please tell me what all upgrades you have done to the gtx 1060 3gb version .
I haven't done any to the gtx 1060. I have only upgraded the RAM and add a SSD.
Does it help preventing static when you wear medical gloves and do it on bare feet? My floor is just tiles.
Honestly I wear socks on carpet, not a good idea, but I don’t touch the motherboard so just don’t touch the PCB. Gloves I guess would help a little especially with keeping everything clean.
I currently have an M2 SSD installed while the 2.5" slot is available. Do I still need to clone?
Only if you want to clone your existing m.2 ssd. I cloned to save my data on my 2.5in SSD which you don't have, so no. There is no reason for you to clone.
Hello bro I need an advice. The laptop hinge is weak. Can you do a video about it. Please reply. Thanks
I'm afraid that is a problem with this laptop. Luckily I haven't experienced any problems yet but I'm taking extra care of mine. IF you have it in warranty yet you might be able to get it fixed.
@@ZackEberly bro for how many years do you have the laptop? On mine at the left bottom hinge the red and black plastic is seperating when closing it. Any idea how to fix it?
how did you get that red strip around the bezel
Its one of Asus designs
Hi Zack! I have the same laptop as you. I added a 16Gb DDR4 2666MHz 1.2V HyperX RAM, but I can't get my laptop to read the new memory correctly.
The following happens to me:
I connect the 16Gb RAM to Slot1, the 8Gb (which came on my laptop) to Slot2 and it detects only 16Gb.
Slot1: 8Gb; Slot2: 16Gb; 8Gb is detected
Slot1: 16Gb; Slot2: 16Gb; 16Gb is detected (both are the same RAM that I mentioned at the beginning of the message)
Slot1: 16Gb; Slot2: empty; 8Gb is detected.
I do not understand what's happening. I asked a friend for help and he helped me update the BIOS but it did not solve the problem. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to solve it? Maybe the RAM I bought is not compatible?
I hope you read me! Thanks anyway!
That is very weird. So you would get a total of 24gb of ram correct? Check the ram when your in the bios and see what it recognize as, like the speed and the full size. It might be a windows problem not using all the available ram.
@@ZackEberly I will keep looking! Thank you!!
You solve it?
@@tor6278 no :/

How many storage can you put in for this unit???
