    • Place the laptop back cover facing up to expose the screws.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove nine 4.6mm screws from the back casing.

    Mick: Did you have to run the blue tool around the edge? Or do corners? The first picture is at the upper righthand corner and the second pic is at the lower righthand corner. This suggests some kind of movement. Could you explain (briefly)?

Thanks for this. I was able to follow the steps and start up the Chromebook successfully. However, now my keyboard and mouse pad aren't working. I tried going back and reinserting the ribbon connectors a couple of times without success. If I plug in a separate mouse and keyboard, they both work. Anything else I should try?
