Time to take off the screen.

• A. Remove the screw on the left that holds the clip down, unclip it.
• B. Remove the four screws at the base of the screen, and lift out, taking care with the antenna wires on the right.
• C. Thread them out of the clips, towards the touchpad. You can then pull them through the board, checking on the bottom to make sure they’re free.

Remove the screw on the right, and remove the back bezel.

Remove the three screws from the top of the touchpad bezel.

You can now unclip the audio jack cable.

Heatsink-there are four screws to remove and the clip, and it simply lifts off. The processor comes out by turning this switch to the unlock position. Quite an easy last step.

Voila! This layout is without disassembling the heat sink, but I feel it’s adequate. To reassemble, simply reverse the steps in this guide. Good luck!
