Remove the two short Phillips screws.

Lift the keyboard by the 'esc' and 'eject' keys and gently lift up until the keyboard is vertical.

Grasp the keyboard connector ribbon near the connector and disconnect it from the logic board.

Remove the three small Phillips screws from within the battery compartment.

Turn the computer 90 degrees clockwise and remove the two medium-length Phillips screws from the casing.

Turn the computer 90 degrees clockwise again, and remove only the bottom screw on either side of the hinge.

Turn the computer 90 degrees clockwise just one more time, and remove the two Phillips screws on the exterior wall of the battery compartment.

Remember these two screws are longer and have shoulders.

Turn the computer over and open it up.

Remove the following 14 screws:

• Six 2.5 mm Phillips on either side of the keyboard area.
• Five 4.5 mm Phillips on the left half of the keyboard area.
• One 7 mm hex in the upper left corner of the upper case (a T6 Torx driver will do the job nicely).
• One 15 mm Phillips in the upper middle of the keyboard area.
• One 16.5 mm hex in the upper right of the upper case (again, a T6 Torx driver will work well).
