Asus Q501LA: How to Remove Hinge Cover?

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 02:24:34 -0700

Hey!

I have an ASUS Q501la and am trying to replace the back cover of the LCD. While I was able to successfully pry most the LCD from the back cover (Shout out to Karl E for explaining how to pull the LCD away), to complete the job I need to remove the plastic hinge cover, which regretfully was not covered in Karl E's explanation.

After attempting to remove it myself, all I have succeeded in doing is breaking the clips on the right side of the hinge cover, and would like to avoid doing the same for the clips on the left side.

If anyone knows how to safely and successfully remove the plastic hinge cover from the ASUS Q501la, it would be much appreciated!

A few days ago I dropped my laptop and it landed on a dumbell on the keyboard (bottom at the time). Now it won't turn on. When I press the power button the indicator lights flash but nothing happens.

Asus Q501LA: Don't Bootup: Goes in Cycles. Can't bootup with flash-drive.

Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:01:50 -0700

I am unable to boot-up my Asus Q501L notebook PC.

I was trying to reset my system to factory settings due to its slow performance.

During the resetting process the system showed the message meaning 'something has gone wrong'. There were three options. One was retry, I chose that option.

However, now my system is not entering the recovery/reset process at all.

The initial screen shows the ASUS logo. My whole system seems to be working fine. I can also enter BIOS.

I have tried to reinstall Windows 10 (not Windows 8.1 that was pre-installed with the system). However, the system would just not let the flash drive to be the 'boot option 1'. (I have tried by changing the boot sequence in the BIOS options, it is not working).

The system has entered in an endless booting cycle (boot-loop), booting itself up after showing the starting ASUS logo screen.

Would appreciate an URGENT help as all my office work has come to a complete halt.
