It's a nice guide to disassemble the notebook correctly, but I would like to add more precise pictures at some steps. At step 9 for example you wrote to lift up the cables for sliding wires through a hole in the couvering plate. Here it was useful to show with a coloured circle where to locate this. In the last step you added a wrong picture. The second image shows the wireless card and how to disconnect it's cables instead the fan's connector. But apart from that this guide was useful (sorry for possible language mistakes) :-)

Now i’m assuming that this is because my computer has been used quite a bit, but in step 8, my ribbon cable fell apart. it is currently held together with electrical tape and prayers. so if anyone would want to not have that happen, I suggest removing the power button and tucking it away instead.
