Introduction

This guide will explain the process of installing a new battery, or replacing an existing one. The ASUS F555UA-EH71 comes with a 14.8V 38Wh Li-ion battery.

    • Remove the ten 18 mm screws holding down the outer shell of the laptop using the Phillips #000 screwdriver.

    • Use your fingers to gently pry open the gap between the silver and black parts of the casing.

    • Separate the keyboard panel from the body of the laptop by wedging the iFixit Opening Tool in between the keyboard panel and the body.

    • The teeth of the casing should make a clicking noise as they’re pulled apart.

    • Gently open the casing until the white, silver, and gold power strips are visible. Gently peel the strips from the bottom side of the laptop.

    • Disconnect the two cables connecting the keyboard panel to the laptop.

    Missing keyboard ribbon disconnect. Assuming I would have a functional computer before hand, this guide would not thoroughly guide me.

    • Use the Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove the eight 4 mm screws holding the battery in place.

    Removing keyboard should have ribbon connecting it to the motherboard. This guide doesn’t go through disconnecting the ribbon

    • Carefully remove the battery from the device.

    Thanks for the great guide! Just a quick note on the screws on the bottom of the device shown in step one. On my X555UB, which seems to have the exact same housing, there are three different types of screws:
    4 screws M2x12 (center row and inner ones on bottom row)
    4 screws M2x9 (top row)
    2 screws M2.5x8 (outer ones on bottom row)
