Preparation

Save your work and shut the computer down through the operating system, unplug AC power and every external device, and work on a clean, grounded, ESD-protected surface while sorting each screw by its original location. Handle every cable by its connector and put each one back in its own place during reassembly.

  2. Take the bottom cover off (the Bottom cover section is on page 44). (printed page 47).
  3. Detach the battery lead from the main board (the Battery section is on page 46). (printed page 48).
  4. Free the grounding tape (1) that holds the solid-state drive shield to the memory unit shield. (printed page 52).
  5. Employ the tab (2) at the solid-state drive shield to lift and take the shield (3) from the machine. (printed page 52).
  6. Take the Phillips M2.0 × 2.5 fastener (1) that holds the solid-state drive to the main board. (printed page 52).
