5. Bottom cover
6. Motherboard
1. Preparation and Tools
For this
project, all you need is a set of precision screwdrivers a paperclip
and a lot of patience. You must realize that this should not be
undertaken lightly. The structure of the notebook is based in
part on the components themselves. Opening and closing the screen
with the bottom removed, for example, must be done very carefully.
Even with this
guide, you must be careful to note the location of each and every screw
you remove. The notebook is put together with several different
lengths and types of screws. Most, but NOT all, are color coded
with a bit of paint on the threads.
Note...I am not
responsible if you break it or can not follow these instructions.
Read everything here first, BEFORE you decide if it is something
you wish to undertake.
