Attention: Turn off the computer and wait 3 to 5 minutes to let the computer cool down before removing the

computer cover.

Note: It may be helpful to place the computer face-down on a soft flat surface for this procedure. Lenovo

recommends that you use a blanket, towel, or other soft cloth to protect the touch screen from scratches

or other damage.

Step 4.

Remove the computer cover. Refer to "Removing the computer cover".
