Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This is a guide for removing the back cover on the Gigabyte Aero 15x for upgrades or for maintenance.
To start, shut down your computer.
What you need
Tools
-
-
-
Using a Torx T6, remove the 13 screws. Remember their exact spot because the 3 in the "middle" are longer (see picture 2).
-
These 3 screws are hidden by a black sticker. Simply push down on the screwdriver to catch the indentation of the screw head.

Using plastic tools, start unclipping the back from the body. Insert one tool and, using a second, gently follow the perimeter.
-
Do not insert your tool too deeply, to avoid snagging a clip.
-
Do not unclip the back face fully; only the front and the 2 sides. You can nevertheless detach the 4 corners.
-
Photo 3 shows the location of the snap fits to disengage in green. In red, these are the "clutch hinges" of the case (see next step).
-
-
-
Before removing the hood, remember that it is held by 2 aluminum rails at the back (hinge side).
-
Remove the cover starting at the front two corners. Lift up at those corners.
-
Do not force if you encounter a hard spot; the metal could bend. Use leverage with a small tool because the cover has no ribbon cables.

-
To reassemble, follow these steps in reverse order.
