Hold the laptop using both hands with the battery facing upwards.

Halten Sie den Laptop mit beiden Händen so, dass der Akku nach oben zeigt.

Schritt 5

Once the battery is removed, unscrew the highlighted 3mm screws (4) using a #0 Phillps head screwdriver.
Be very careful not to lose the screws, these four screws are very small.

Schritt 6

After all four screws are removed, flip the laptop over with the keyboard facing up.
Use a spudger to pry up where the keyboard is attached to the laptop on all sides until it is detached from the laptop.
It is normal to hear cracking noises when prying off the keyboard.
After keyboard is detached from laptop, there is a ribbon cable still attached to the motherboard. See next step before completely removing keyboard.

I started with the 2 sides of the keyboard. Then the rear edge has 5 tabs in the battery compartment, which seem to be critical to getting the keyboard off. The front edge of the keyboard does not need to be pried off. It has metal tabs that slide into slots.

Schritt 7

After the keyboard is detached, the ribbon cable which connects the keyboard to the laptop's motherboard is exposed.
Be careful not to tear or rip the ribbon cable.

Schritt 8

Using the spudger push the white clips upwards that are holding the cable.

Schritt 9

Gently pull the strip out of the square slot.

How do you remove the black metal cover on top of the motherboard? See your second photo.

If anyone still needs this answered, in the 1015PX I've opened up again recently, there are another 6 screws (I think) attaching the black cover to the motherboard/bottom case, then you need to prise the wrist/touchpad section up with a spudger because it's all one moulding.

Schritt 10

Unscrew all of the indicated 5mm screws (11) using a #0 Philips head screwdriver.
One of the screws will be covered by a sticker indicating that proceeding will void the warranty.

Schritt 11

Before the baseboard can be fully removed from the laptop, you need to detach the small blue tab attached to the motherboard.
Gently lift up on the black plastic tab that is securing the blue tab in place.
Carefully pull the blue tab out of the dock.

Schritt 12

Use the spudger from the laptop to 'pop' open the track-pad base, starting from the corner shown
Once the corner is popped it may be easier to use your fingers to pop off the entire track-pad base
You will hear popping. Although this is normal, use caution pulling the track-pad base from the rest of the laptop

Schritt 13

Once the trackpad base is detached, flip it face-down.
Lift the small black tab that the blue flat cable is attached to.

Schritt 14

Remove the 3mm screws (3) circled in red with a #0 Phillips head screwdriver.
The metal plate shown in blue will fall off by itself, replace it before re-securing the baseplate.
