    • Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the six, 5mm screws securing the battery.

    Do you have to remove the battery before swapping the wifi card? Is disconnecting the power not enough?

    Hi Charles,

    If you’re swapping the Wi-Fi card, you don’t need to remove the battery. Disconnecting it will suffice.

    Are two of these screws shorter than the other four? And if so, where do the two shorter screws go?

    Looks like the two shorter screws go where the trackpad is!

    • Remove any tape attached to the battery.

    • Use the plastic spudger to pry out the battery.

    After removing the 6 screws securing the battery, mine does not come out easily. There is resistance, and I don't wanna forcefully pull it out. Is it supposed to be easy to pick up and take out or is there some sort of tape holding it down from the bottom?

    • Use a plastic spudger to remove the USB-A and audio port module from the chassis.

    This guide stops at removing it, what do we replace it with? Is it possible to buy a new usb-c + audio module online?

    David McNulty -

    @david0438 I have the same question. My Razer stopped charging but everything else works fine, leaving me to think it is a USB-C port that went bad. I just need to find a suitable replacement, since Razer wanted me to pay $700 to replace the ENTIRE motherboard
