      I have no problems with the screen - I have the Ryzen 7 4800H/GTX1660TI Model : 506IU with 144Hz screen, I only game, no pro video editing or anything & I think it's absolutely fine for the games I play, watching TH-cam etc.. 👍

    Managed to put in 64GB RAM (63.4 usable), as suggested by Crucial. With the RTX 2060 model, there is also a 2nd PCI M.2 SSD slot (potentially RAID 0 setup?), plus a STAT 3 SSD bay. So, 3 places for SSDs.

      Hey, I have a question for you if you don't mind. Since you've messed around inside the ASUS A15, how hard do you think it would be to swap out the GPU, RTX 2060 for a better one? Is it easily accessible? Or is it in a hard to reach spot? Also if it is even possible to swap out the GPU in a laptop? I've never worked on a laptop before.

    Can you tell me where the webcam connects to the motherboard? I may have loosened the camera's cable when installing an hdd and ram, as it intermittently shows up as not being connected when I check the device manager. I have the model with RTX2060.
    *EDIT* The issue was resolved. Turned out there was nothing wrong with the webcam. When I plugged in a specific usb cable, it was somehow disabling the webcam. As soon as I removed it, the webcam operates normally.

    • @ccerose1
      @ccerose1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Just some Forest Ranger with Internet Access That's why I wanted to know where it was connected. However, it turned out not to be the case. I USB cable I was using was somehow disabling the built in webcam. It was just a coincidence that I started using the cable right after I had opened the laptop to install the ram and hdd. Once I stopped using that cable, the webcam started working normally.

      Top left corner of the HDD cage, just above it there is that white and black connector point. Lift up the black part, like a door. The supplied SATA cable slots in there, and should be prefolded to then travel down to the SATA drive

      Yes. Your laptop should have come with the extra wiring extension to hook up an HHD or SSD of the same 2.5 size. My did. But I'd rather use the extra NVMe slot to expand storage capacity.
