REPAIR TIME & SKILL LEVEL:

This repair is estimated to take about 1 HOUR to complete and is of INTERMEDIATE difficulty, requiring careful handling of internal components and proper alignment during reassembly.

STEPS:

Tools You Need

For this repair, you will need a T5 screwdriver for the outer case screws, a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the battery, a plastic spudger or pick to pry open the case and remove the grommets, and optional adhesive (like B7000 or light glue) to re-secure the cosmetic rubber screw covers.

Remove Rubber Grommets Covering Screws

Flip the Zenbook Duo upside down to access the underside of the laptop.
Use a pick, spudger, or tweezers to carefully remove the small rubber grommets that cover the screws.
Take your time to avoid damaging the grommets—they’re mostly cosmetic, but you may want to reuse them later.

Unscrew the Bottom Case

Using a T5 screwdriver, remove all the screws securing the bottom case to the main assembly.
Be mindful of screw placement; silver screws go in spots under the rubber grommets, and metallic gray screws belong on the front edge.

Pry Off the Bottom Cover

Take the flat end of your plastic spudger and work your way around the edges of the bottom cover.
Gently lift the bottom case up and away from the rest of the laptop.
Set the bottom case aside in a safe place.

Disconnect the Battery

Locate the battery connector on the motherboard.
Carefully lift up on the battery connector to safely disconnect power from the board before continuing.
This is a crucial step to prevent short circuits or electrical damage.

Remove the Battery Screws

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove all screws securing the battery in place.
Place the screws in a tray or magnetic pad for easy reinstallation later.

Remove the Old Battery

Once all screws are out, gently lift the old battery straight up and out of the device.
Set the old battery aside for proper recycling or disposal.

Install the New Battery

Take the new battery and unbox it carefully.
Align it in the exact orientation as the original—face down into the battery bay.
Set it snugly into place without forcing or bending the connectors.

Secure the New Battery

Use the same screws removed earlier to secure the new battery to the chassis.
Double-check that the battery is flush and doesn’t move when the laptop is tilted.

Reconnect the Battery Clip

Ensure the battery’s retention clip is in the forward position.
Push the clip downward gently to lock the battery connector into place.

Snap the Bottom Case Back On

Align the bottom cover with the edges of the laptop and begin snapping it into place.
You should hear gentle clicks all around the perimeter as it secures.

Reinstall All T5 Screws

Use your T5 screwdriver to reinstall all screws in their correct positions.
Remember: silver screws go where the rubber grommets were, and gray screws go on the front edge.

Reapply the Rubber Grommets

Place the rubber grommets back over the screws.
If the original adhesive is weak, use a small amount of B7000 or simple glue to hold them.
Avoid super glue, as it may damage the grommets and make future repairs difficult.

Final Power Check

Flip the device over and plug in the charger.
Power on the laptop and verify that the new battery is functioning properly.
Confirm that the battery is charging through the on-screen battery indicator.

CONCLUSION:

Replacing the battery on the Asus Zenbook Duo 14-inch model can be done at home with some patience and the right tools. This repair requires careful handling due to the compact layout and dual-screen configuration. By following the steps above, you can successfully complete the battery replacement and restore your device’s power performance. Always test your device thoroughly before sealing it up completely. A good repair starts with proper preparation and careful execution.
