Einleitung

This guide shows you how to remove the bottom cover beneath the battery, which is needed to strip down to the mid-layer of the device, which is needed for the USB board replacement guide.

    • Make sure the display is closed. Then, flip the computer over so that you can see the bottom cover.

    • Loosen the two 5 mm Phillips #0 on the upper edge of the cover.

    • These screws will stay captive to the case.

  2. FCNAf33qgg3Fg6pv

    • Remove the two 5 mm interior screws that connect the cover to the assembly using the same Philips head screwdriver from the previous step.

  3. GkvxKq5IraJdRrBe

    • Use a spudger to remove the base cover from the rest of bottom cover.

    As it is not clearly visible in the picture: You should start to open the base cover at the screen side, to avoid breaking the plastic guides of the base cover. A flat dough scraper is a pretty good tool for that.

    • Remove the three 5mm Phillips #0 screws that keep the battery connected to the computer.

  5. s2ymvMZSlGQwEwdL

    • Ground the system board by turning over the computer, opening the display, and holding the power button down for about 5 seconds before proceeding.

    • Using the pull tab on the battery, lift the battery out of the computer.

    These instructions look as if you ground the board first and then remove the battery.

    I think it should be the other way round. First, remove the battery. Secondly, ground the board.

    • Completely unscrew the 2 mm screw that connects the WiFi card to the mother board using a Philips head screwdriver.

    You missed a step where you have to remove the battery to get to the wireless card.

    • Disconnect the two antennas (one black and one white) from the wireless card.

  9. jfsGgBhBdNxhSBKp

    • Remove the WiFi card.

    • To place a new WiFi card, connect the antenna cables to the WiFi card. The white cable goes to the white triangle, and the black cable goes to the black triangle.

    • Avoid damaging the card by not placing any cables underneath the card.

    • Use the spudger to remove the keyboard from the palm assembly.
