Einleitung

This is a guide on removing and replacing an additional USB port that is not attached to the motherboard. The other USB ports that are on the motherboard have to be replaced with a new motherboard or with advanced soldering skills.

  1. Oe5JJGik31X65JUH

    • To protect the device and yourself, make sure your device is completely powered down before disassembling. Disconnect all external devices before starting any tear down process.

    • Turn the device and lay it upside-down on a flat surface so the base of the computer is facing upwards.

  2. uQlUR5k2WAlQOurc

    • Identify the two (2) sliding lock mechanisms on either side of the battery and slide them towards the center.

    • The sliders are located at the back of the device on the side where the display hinges are.

    • The slider closest to the optical drive (CD reader) clicks open but the opposite slider has a spring.

  3. b6HOUbvthhVSAKUr

    • Pull the battery slightly up and out to remove.

    • If the battery doesn't pop out, the sliders weren't pushed in far enough. Push the sliders towards the center until the battery pops out.

  4. aaZxXn6HLYeAYaKc

    • Remove the rubber feet on the bottom of the device to access all the screws.

    • There are two rubber feet, one on each side of the battery compartment.

  5. eI6FvHAhZUhIXfrY

    • Unscrew the twelve 9 mm JIS #0 screws on the back of the device.

    • Gently remove the optical drive (CD reader) to more easily separate the base.

  6. a6C1fSHMSg3hUJEh

    • Unclip the keyboard surface from the base using an iFixit opening tool around the entire border.

  7. eIVV1uJCR1NrACcw

    • Separate the base of the computer from the component assembly.

    • The optical drive can be placed in the base where it corresponds to prevent misplacing it.

  8. 1sbyQN3JfRoCNlLf

    • Remove the three 3mm JIS #0 screws from the hard drive.

  9. xpQHqqpEmPTtWUW4

    • Unplug the hard drive and set aside.

  10. Zfektcch4soh4TCP

    • Disconnect the cable that is attached to the motherboard from the USB board.

    • The motherboard can be identified as the big blue board in the opposite side of the USB board we are replacing.

  11. mjUAvdU4HkHTE3CF

    • Remove the single 3mm JIS #0 screw.

    • Once the screw is out, the USB board can be pulled out for replacement.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
