This guide will show you how to remove the hard drive on an Asus X540S notebook.
必要な工具と部品
-
-
Open the Optical Drive to allow removal of keyboard before powering down computer.
-
-
-
-
Lift the side of the top.
-
Remove the keyboard cable.
-
Remove the trackpad cable.
When removing both cables there is a small black plastic flap covering the connection.
GENTLY lift that flap and GENTLY lift the end of the cable/ribbon and you're good to go.
My first try I was under the impression it was more of a plug and didn't see any specifics just like above “remove cable” but no description of how.
Even though I did it wrong, it didn't damage anything, and this guide was a big help.
Added a note. Thanks for the comment!
While lifting the lid, it's useful to have a spudger to detach the snaps from the top

-
Remove the four Philips #1 screws.
Wanted to add:
Must open dvd drawer first to pull up on top housing
Can only spudge after pulling up on top above DVD opening - stiff expired credit card works good
No hidden screws, the ones on the bottom are it
Only 2 ribbon cables, keyboard and touchpad
Ribbon cables are short, keeping plastic clamps secured on them tricky when reassembling
Very helpful guide, thank you :)

Looks simple enough Padraic. Thanks. Does a new install of win10 come already copied in a new HDD? Would this replacement be and different if I used a digital drive? (My old hd failed and I have no system).
After installing an OEM replacement HDD in my x540, I bought a flash drive on Amazon for$10 that rebooted my Windows 10 and it's working like a brand new machine.
I believe the product key for windows 10 is embedded in motherboard.

Hi … How can a flashdrive reboot a Win10 on a new SDD /HDD ? A Windows flash drive contains a Win10 bootable ISO ?
On Amazon, I found flash drives with a product key but I don’t know where the new installation can be done from if there is no ISO on it …
(I have a x540 with a dead HDD …)

No problem!
I will add a note to the keyboard and trackpad on step 2
@paperboypaddy what hard drive did you use and what brand? Mine just bit the dust.
