    • Unscrew the single 3.7mm screw holding down the M.2 SSD using the Philips #0 screwdriver bit.

    Try to avoid “locate” steps—instead , just start with the action. I like that the laptop retains the same orientation here! It helps make the guide feel easier to follow.

    • Lift the M.2 SSD slightly, creating a 15-25 degree angle between the SSD and the rest of the motherboard.

    • Slowly pull the M.2 SSD out. Apply a gentle force that is in line with the orientation of the SSD.

    • Do not attempt to lift the M.2 SSD more than it will go. Applying too much pressure may harm the M.2 SSD or the socket for the SSD.

Conclusion

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

Do you know the procedure to transfer the contents of the removed M.2 into the new M.2? Assuming the old one was working fine and you just want to upgrade to a larger memory M.2 - you can put the old one into a USB3 external case (I bought one for $10 on eBay) to make the transfer. Then you just need a bootable USB stick to put into the Zenbook. Boot up on the USB and format the new M.2 to match, I think this has to be Windows. Then you can use another bootable USB with Linux on it to make a bit-by-bit copy from the old one to the newly installed M.2 and all your applications and data will be good to go. Then you can format the old one and use it as an external drive. Did I get that right?

Why is it necessary to remove the motherboard ribbon and battery, to replace the M.2 SSD media? It’s not blocked in by the battery.

Don Pitchford - Réponse

You need to remove the battery for safety reasons to replace the M.2 SSD. Technically, you don’t have to but then you risk damaging components since there is a chance of power going to them.

Couldn't you just disconnect the battery power cable from the motherboard (step 8) to avoid this risk? The illustration in step 8 even shows the screw still in place.
