What you need

    • Flip the computer over to access the screws on the bottom.

    • Remove 8 black, 7mm PH0 screws (M2 x L7).

    • Note: Virtually all the other screws for this computer are PH1 screws which may get stripped when using a smaller screwdriver, but these screws require a Philips PH0 driver.

    • Pry up the clips/latches and then remove the lower case. Start at the front (four clips), then sides (three clips each side) and back (four clips) - there is also one clip in the middle of the case.

    • Almost anything that is done with a computer is safer if the battery is disconnected, so it is good to do that now.

    • Disconnect the battery pack cable from the system board using fingernails or a pry bar. Use your fingernails to pull the connector to unplug it. Do not pull the cable. It can be very tight. I used a 3.5 mm flathead screwdriver to carefully push the side plastic edges down towards the battery. Do not knock any of the components on the board.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
