Steps

Time Required

Introduction

This guide will show how to remove the back panel of the ASUS Portable AiO PT2001. Removing this panel is required to access the internal components.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the grey scuff guard at the bottom of the PC by pressing down on it, and pulling it away.
Lift the hinge and remove the grey rubber tabs on either side of the PC’s model information.
Remove the two 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws beneath the rubber tabs under the hinge and the four 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws where the scuff guard was removed.
Remove the two 4.74mm Phillips #1 screws under the hinge (near the hinge joints) and a 4.74mm Phillips #1 screw under the handle.

How to open the 2 screws at the root of the handle? (The orange colored in your chart) There are two squares gray toppers. Which type of tools to use to open that toppers? Thank you so much for this instruction.

Step 2

Use 1-2 plastic opening tools or nylon spudgers to firmly pry open the back panel.
We recommend that you start prying the panel where the scuff guard was removed.
Prying the back panel will cause loud popping noises. This is just the sound of the clips that hold the back panel to the PC popping off.
Using excess force while prying can break the clips that hold the back panel and can damage the ports on the side of the PC.

Step 3

Disconnect the three cables connecting the back panel ports to the motherboard.
Flip up the locking latch holding the two ribbon cables with a plastic opening tool and pull the cables out.
Gently wiggle the third connector out of its socket.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
