On most configurations of the ASUS VivoBook 15 M1505, part of the memory is soldered and there is one free slot, so it can be increased but not replaced entirely.
Windows repair and reinstall

Charging port and power repair
We replace worn charging sockets and repair USB-C ports and charging circuits at component level. The adapter is tested first, because it is the cheapest thing to be wrong.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the ASUS VivoBook 15 M1505, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- Many have some memory soldered with one slot free.
- VivoBook hinges are mounted in plastic and can break out of the lid or base.
- ASUS model codes like X515 or M1502 are followed by letters for the exact variant; we match parts to the full code on the base label.
Data recovery from the ASUS VivoBook 15 M1505
The SSD in the ASUS VivoBook 15 M1505 can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.
