    • Open the Chromebook at a 90 degree angle, and set it on it's side.

    • Some Chromebooks turn on automatically when opened. If the device turns on, make sure you power it off before proceeding.

    • Insert the spudger into the gap in between the glossy keyboard bezel and the rubbery side part. Gently pry to release the clips. Move the spudger around the perimeter of the device, releasing clips as you go.

    • Make sure you do not allow the palmrest to come detached once all clips are removed, there are fragile ribbon cables attached to it.

    • Lift up the locking tabs on the system board for both ribbons

    • As you lift the palmrest up, the ribbon for the touchpad (white in my case) will be sticking to the bottom of the palmrest with adhesive. Carefully pull the ribbon off so that you can reach in there.

    • Disconnect both ribbons from the system board.

    • Lift up the palmrest and set it off to the side.

Hi there, nice guide but you can get away with not taking off the entire screen just unscrew the left hinge while the lid is at a 90 degree angle and simply fold flat to have access at the screw holding the DC jack in place

Marco Curry -

My Hp 11 G5 has a silver palmrest on it and the bottom half of the casing isn’t rubberized. I’ve use my plastic pry tool popping the clips round the case after removing the screws from the underside of the case. I however cannot get the palmrest / keyboard to release. It’s as if it’s still screwed in or glued , a lot. (Yes, I removed ALL the screws from the underside of the casing, including the ones under the rubber plugs {not the rubber feet})

How should I proceed?
