There are five small spring loaded latches securing the keyboard. In order to remove the keyboard it’s not necessary to go though all previous disassembly steps. Remove three screws securing the cooling fan. I’m not sure if all Asus K series notebooks have only one memory slot. It looks like some memory was integrated into the motherboard. In this particular notebook I found only one memory slot.
Spread latches on both sides of the memory module and after the module pops up at a 30 degree angle, carefully pull it from the slot by the edges. As you see, it’s a regular 2.5″ SATA HDD. Now you can separate the HDD from the caddy and replace it with a new one if needed. Slide the hard drive assembly to the right to disconnect it from the connector on motherboard.
Remove four screws securing the hard drive assembly. Slide the DVD drive to the right and remove it.
