Einleitung

This guide will instruct you on how to remove the motherboard of your laptop. This is a rather involved process and may require some significant time to accomplish. The motherboard is located below the battery and is connected to nearly everything so take care that it is completed disconnected by following this step by step guide.

  1. kK2ZURg2UJNDnSxP

    • Set your laptop upside down on your work space.

    I usually skip most all of this and start with the bezel, disconnecting the screen wire AT THE SCREEN, and not at the motherboard. 4 screws around the bezel, and 4 screws in the screen. Leave everything connected and skip to step 12.

    • Using tweezers, remove the circular stickers that are covering the two screws near the middle of the back cover. Stick them to the laptop next to the screws.

    • Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, loosen all seven 2.5mm screws on the back cover of the device.

    • These screws will stay attached to the back cover, so just loosen them until they rattle around.

    • Using a plastic opening tool, begin to separate the back cover from the body of the computer.

    • If you have trouble prying a particular part of the back cover off, make sure that the nearest screws are fully loosened.

    • Using your hands, pull the back cover fully off of the body of the computer.

    • Unplug the battery from the motherboard by gently pulling the black cable header from the motherboard towards the battery.

    • You can locate this cable by checking that its other end connects to the battery. It has black protective wrap.

Dell Chromebook 11 3180 3189 uses a very special power jack connector, the power jack is soldering to a iron cover, people have to replace the whole part when the jack is broken/burnt, this is the correct part: https://www.dcincable.com/xnj46-0xnj46-c..., remember not to move the laptop while charging the battery, a good habit can make the laptop working longer.
