The video demonstrates the process of disassembling, diagnosing, and reassembling an Asus Chromebook model C536E, emphasizing the meticulous handling of screws, connectors, and components. It highlights the discovery of significant liquid damage likely caused by prior mishandling, evident in the motherboard, m.2 SSD, and other internal parts. The presenter explains the function of various connectors, including those for the power button, speakers, fan, and potentially the touchscreen or webcam. Given the extensive damage relative to the laptop's low value, the presenter advises against repairs. After reassembling the device and attempting to power it on, they observe it remains non-functional, concluding with a lack of feasible recovery and an overall recommendation against attempting such repairs on similarly damaged, low-value devices.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to open and disassemble an Asus Chromebook model C536E. They start by using a js1 screwdriver to remove all screws from the bottom of the device, emphasizing the importance of keeping the screws in order as they can have different sizes and lengths. The presenter arranges the screws on the desk in the pattern they were removed. Despite some initial doubt, they find that all screws are indeed js1 size.
They note that the Chromebook appears messy and suspect it may have been used more than claimed by the owner, as evidenced by the condition of the device. The presenter then begins the process of removing the bottom cover by inserting fingernails into the gap between the palm rest and bottom cover and using thumbs to push while pulling up with fingernails. The bottom cover is particularly sticky and challenging to remove, leading to the inference that there might be some liquid or residue causing the difficulty.

In this part of the video, the individual is explaining how to carefully disassemble a device by working through the clips on various sides and lifting parts to reach underneath. They encounter a cable that is attached with adhesive, which is for the power button and other buttons. The cable connection is secured by a latch, which they explain how to flip up and remove. They discover liquid damage inside the device, indicating the motherboard might be fried. They detach the battery to reduce any risk of further damage and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds to drain residual power. Finally, they observe an m.2 SSD that is removable by unscrewing with a JS1 screwdriver.

In this part of the video, the presenter removes a metal tape layer from a laptop to reveal a plastic layer underneath. They then uncover a PCIe NVMe SSD, which shows significant liquid damage, making it unlikely to be worth repairing due to the cost relative to the laptop’s value, an i3 Chromebook. The segment also identifies various connectors and components such as the LCD LVDS, charge port, USBC board, HDMI, micro SD card reader, and parts of the motherboard. The presenter discusses the process of removing cables and highlights the keyboard and trackpad connectors. They conclude that further repairs are probably not worthwhile, given the extent of the damage and the laptop’s low value.

In this part of the video, the presenter focuses on reassembling a laptop after showing the customer its internal components. They detach and explain the function of various connectors, including those for the speakers, fan, and possibly the touchscreen or webcam. They advise the customer on the cost-effectiveness of repairing liquid damage versus the value of the laptop. The presenter then proceeds to reattach the connectors and components, specifically mentioning the process of reinserting the battery connector and reassembling the laptop case by aligning it at an angle to fit over the headphone jack. The speaker also mentions that due to potential liquid damage on the SSD, data recovery prospects are unlikely. Finally, they prepare to reassemble and test the laptop system.

In this part of the video, the creator attempts to fix a device that has been dead for months. They reassemble the device by putting all the screws back in, expressing doubt that it will work due to liquid residue and damage inside. Upon plugging it in, they observe a blinking orange light but confirm that the device remains non-functional, as the power button has no effect. The creator concludes by thanking viewers and encouraging engagement with the channel.
