The screws in this laptop are *not* all the same length. Unfortunately, I only kept track of some of them as I didn’t notice that they weren’t all the same until I had most of them out. I know that two of the longer screws go in the back between the back feet, but I’m not 100% sure of the others.
I removed the cover successfully (including noting where the long and short screws are located) but cannot get the #0 Phillips screwdriver to fit into those tiny cross shaped slots in the screws holding the battery in. It seems to be too big or the wrong shape, and I am really concerned about stripping the heads by tying to force it too much. Maybe a small regular flat head that will fit into the grooves?
