Introduction
However, you should check through the troubleshooting page before proceeding, in case a simpler fix resolves the problem.
For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
What you need
Step 1
Bottom Cover
- Be sure to power off and unplug your device before you begin your repair.
- Close the laptop and flip it so that the screen is on the surface of the table and the back plate is facing you.
- Remove the 3.3 mm screw near the top of the hinge using a T5 Torx screwdriver.
- Remove the remaining four 7.3 mm screws using the same screwdriver.
