    I checked the "Asus Information Booth" sticky thread and tried to browse the btotech.com site for a guide, but couldn't find anything. I read on the btotech forums that ASUS has disassembly guides, so I contacted ASUS to see if they would send it to me. The customer rep I got was a douche and said "Those guides are not made available to consumers." Does anyone have a link to an A8 series disassembly guide?

    It took a while, but google really is amazing. lol. I found a blog that posted the official Asus a8j disassembly guide (and it's probably the same one that gay customer rep didnt want to send to me).

    Here is the link

    http://www.darrickrochili.com/?page_id=269

    Just ctrl + f "A8J Disassembly Guide" and click on it and you'll be able to download it if you need it.

    I found that guide a few months ago for when I broke the screen(DoH!) in my A8Jp. Asus wanted to charge me more than $500!! They said Id voided my warranty so I decided to just replace the screen myself and save $300.

    The guide was helpful, but it was not exact in my case. My laptop had a few extra screws here and there and a cable that I believe is for the camera that was way off from where the guide showed.

    milestonepc is no longer in business. Perhaps other resellers may have access to this information?

    X-dark, the guide is posted on the Info Booth. (but you have already seen it judging from your reply on your other thread).
