Steps
1. Remove the eight screws (M2x3, T5-Torx) that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
CAUTION: Do not pull on or pry the base cover at the side where the hinges are located; doing so may
damage the base cover.
CAUTION: Do not pry open from the top of the computer as this can damage the display FPC.
CAUTION: The base cover is preassembled with the audio-daughter board. The pins at the bottom of the base
cover are fragile. These pins ground the antennas and audio-daughter board. Place the base cover on a clean
surface to avoid damage to the pins.
NOTE: Ensure to remove the protective rubber cover from audio jack pin before replacing the base cover.
2. Starting from the bottom-left corner, use a plastic scribe to pry the base cover in the direction of the arrows to release the
base cover from the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
