Step 34
Turn the laptop back over.
Remove three short black Torx screws from the metal frame.
Remove the small Torx screw to the far left that fastens the logic board to the casing.
Step 35
Grasp the upper plastic casing where it locks into the internal frame and pull back. When the plastic tab has cleared the slot that the casing locks into, pull up enough to keep it from locking back into place.
Step 36
The PC card eject button on the laptop's left side prevents the upper casing from lifting up. In order to bypass the button, push it in far enough so that you can pull the upper casing's left side out and up beyond the button.
