Schritt 1

Slide the lock on the right side until you hear a click. Once you hear a click , you should see the color red.

Schritt 2

Unlike the first lock, this lock is spring loaded and must be held in place when used.
Slide the lock to the left (in the direction of the arrow below the lock) and hold in place.

Schritt 3

Gently pull battery away from the computer while holding open the lock.

Schritt 4

Unlock the battery latch by pulling it up.
It should reveal red underneath when it's unlocked.

Schritt 5

Push the latch down and then hold in position.
Pull the optical drive out.

Schritt 6

Remove nine screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Can anyone tell me what size screws are for the bottom part of the case?

Schritt 7

Pull up on the loosened cover to remove.
Remove two screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Schritt 8

Pull the tab straight to the left until part releases.
Lift up the part to remove completely.

Schritt 9

To release the DIMM, pull the tabs on either side away from each other simultaneously.
The DIMM will pop out on its own.

Schritt 10

To disconnect the Wi-Fi cables, use a spudger to gently push up under them.
Wi-Fi cables are delicate.

Schritt 11

Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove the two screws.
Once screws are out, the card will just pop out.

Schritt 12

Remove three screws using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Schritt 13

With the laptop upside down, open slightly.
To remove the keyboard, push the back of the keyboard forward with your thumb while pulling away from the laptop on the other side.
You will not be able to pull the keyboard completely away. The cables are still connected to the laptop.

Schritt 14

To release the cables, use the spudger to push both ends on the side of the cable.
Gently pull the cables up to disconnect.

Under my keyboard is just a solid piece with no cables behind it, they all run to the bottom of the keyboard where the clips are here…it is very odd. Any suggestions? I do have a Y500 and everything else looks the same up to this point.

Schritt 15

Pull the keyboard up and away from the laptop to remove it.

Schritt 16

Remove a total of 8 screws.
Red circles are m2.5 x 10 mm flathead screws.
Orange circles m2 x 3mm flathead screws.
Yellow circle is m2.5 x 4mm flathead screw.

Schritt 17

Flip up black tabs at the ends of each cable.
With fingers, gently remove the cables underneath from their ports.

Schritt 18

By unlatching the sides and pulling up, remove the top case from the device.
Casing is fragile, be careful not to twist when pulling up.

Schritt 19

Peel up the black tab and remove the tape completely.
Remove the cable revealed underneath while pulling up the tape.
When reassembled, you will have to stick the tape back down in its original location in order to reinsert the cable.
