Surely that should be :-
Tip 1 - Charge battery :D :D

Typically the battery comes partially charged with new computers :) Similar to new phones.
Technically, the first tip should have been to unpackage the box, then insert the battery, but since this is just a tips thread, it can occur in any order (I guess).
I dunno.

About DVD drive... You need to remove keyboard first and under it unscrew one bolt.
Removing keyboard is kind tricky at some point because You need to be very carrefour to not scratch it.

"eSupport"
it cantains all the drivers and all software that comes with asus preinstalled, once fresh windows is installed in SSD just goto this folder from external drive and goto folder driver launch the .exe file and it will give you a big menu to choose from includes all apps n drivers.. i clicked all as i find that asus software is likable hope it helps and will save you hassle...
if you dont install the driver for usb your left usb single slot (which is beleive is usb3.0) wont work yes not even for usb 2.0
ok the wait is now over heres a tutorial how to install ssd drive into your ASUS A53E
DICONNECT POWER CABLE AND REMOVE BATTERY BEFORE U START THIS V IMPORTANT
1. Remove the two screws marked making sure scew driver is perfect fit otherwise might damage scews and slide the cover gently downwards (dont pull) and it will slide down with ease.
2. This is how it will look. Towards left is hdd caddy screwed and on right side is the ram.. we are only interested in the left side.
3. Identify 4 scews and unscew them with same size screwdriver you used to remove cover, and slide caddy gently towards left it will pop off the sata connector take it out
4. Unscew the drive from caddy there are 4 scews like this in total.
5. Caddy after removing hdd
7. Screw all of them back, connect power cable and boot into bios by clicking f2 during post
thats it install your favorite OS and see the huge leap in performance never experienced before :-)
some must do recommended tweaks

lol they started the counter 12 secs after swiching it on and stopped it a sec before the boot had finished
We r only talking about boot time here which is the first appearance of starting windows till appearance of mouse arrow
measuring time from pressing power button is non sense as it would also include bios post time and the checks bios goes through in asus fancy start that will also include display of asus logo and music playback time so if ur not sure what u r talking about better be hush
disk is only accessed when windows is starting to boot and thats exactly what we have measured here disk access time during cold OS bootup
previously this was approx 34-35sec on a normal 5400 hdd
