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.

1. Get the machine ready for taking apart (the Preparation for disassembly section is on page 30). (printed page 32).
2. Take the bottom cover off (the Bottom cover section is on page 30). (printed page 32).
3. Detach the battery lead from the main board (the Battery section is on page 38). (printed page 32).

5. Draw the drive out of the socket to take it away (2). (printed page 36).
6. Refit the cover by slipping the edges of the cover into the clips at the main board near the sides of the solid-state drive. (printed page 37).
7. Power the machine down. If you cannot tell whether the machine is off or in Hibernation, turn the machine on, and after that shut it down through the operating system. (printed page 38).
8. Cut the power from the machine by unplugging the power cord from the machine. (printed page 38).
9. Detach every external device from the machine. (printed page 38).
