      • Flip the computer over to access the screws on the bottom.

      • Remove 8 black, 7mm PH0 screws (M2 x L7).

      • Note: Virtually all the other screws for this computer are PH1 screws which may get stripped when using a smaller screwdriver, but these screws require a Philips PH0 driver.

      • Pry up the clips/latches and then remove the lower case. Start at the front (four clips), then sides (three clips each side) and back (four clips) - there is also one clip in the middle of the case.

    1. Remove Battery, Disconnect battery cable: step 3, image 1 of 1
      • Almost anything that is done with a computer is safer if the battery is disconnected, so it is good to do that now.

      • Disconnect the battery pack cable from the system board using fingernails or a pry bar. Use your fingernails to pull the connector to unplug it. Do not pull the cable. It can be very tight. I used a 3.5 mm flathead screwdriver to carefully push the side plastic edges down towards the battery. Do not knock any of the components on the board.

    1. Remove Battery, Remove battery screws: step 4, image 1 of 1
      • Remove 6 black 4mm PH1 screws (M2 x L4). The lower right screw is close to a magnet that may pull it from where you want it to go - tweezers may be necessary. The Hardware Maintenance Manual does not show the bottom middle screw.

      • Note: Virtually all the screws for this computer are PH1 screws which may get stripped if you use a smaller screwdriver.
