Push this back using a small flathead screwdriver, while using another to gently pry the keyboard up from the top cover. This will result in a bent keyboard, requiring an expensive replacement. Here is the removed keyboard.
The arrows point to double sided tape, bane of Computer Techs everywhere. It is important to use gentle, constant pressure when dealing with adhesives, otherwise you can bend or even break the keyboard. The sliver backing you see is the backlighting mechanism for the keyboard in the G Second picture.
The black arrow points to the cable for the backlight. Be careful with these type of cables, they are easy to break. The red arrows indicate the retention mechanism. Push them towards the cable to release it. Third picture. This is the data cable for the keyboard itself. Release it the same way as the backlight cable.

Remove the four screws holding it in place. The hinges exposed. To remove the cover, use either a small flathead screwdriver, or mroe ideally, a hard plastic spudger. Gentle pressure, and it should come right off. Second image, close-up of the right hinge assembly.
The black arrows point to the screw that secure the hinge to the bottom enclosure. The yellow arrow indicates a screw that hold the top cover on. Remove all four. Third image.

Remove these four as well. When the screws are removed, gently pull the LCD panel up, then rotate it back so that it lays flat.

For the speaker cable, grasp the wires firmly near the plug and pull straight up. Again, use care here. The ribbon cables can tear, so keep metal tools away from them.

The two with black cables have a thin layer of plastic adhesive holding them in place. Pull this up and pull the connector straight out. Here we have the fan for cooling the CPU.

Even though I don't have my G73Jh yet, I've always appreciated having the Service Manual for my laptop, even though in most cases I never even need to open my laptop up. I would also agree that anyone not experienced with laptop disassembly, should use this information very carefully. Asus can deny warranty coverage if they determine that the laptop was damaged by you, whether you meant to or not.
So at the minimum, before you open your G73Jh up, you should read the warranty exclusions on this webpage. Wanting to get the actual PDF file of Chapter 2 for offline review, I searched through the G73Jh's Owner's thread and saw that sleey0 is hosting the file on his Window's Live Public site , you need to click on the G73 Series Chapter file icon, and then when you get to the next screen select the Download button, don't try to download with a right click "Save As".
I've also made it available at mediafire here. If anyone can provide for download, or post a link to, the entire G73Jh service manual not just Chapter 2 , that would be appreciated as well. David , Apr 15, If anyone does have the full PDF, and is willing to post it somewhere, it would be greatly appreciated.
