first of all, if you start to work on your laptop make a plane of the screws. Use an magnetic project board. or just paper and tape and draw the plan.

remove the battery, and the 3 panels.

remove the RAM and the HDD.

to remove the hdd just lift it up. ( its an sata hdd but they use an IDE adapter.

remove the wifi pci-e card and the antennas.

it will come out of the screw sockets when you remove the srews.

now we will remove the dvd rw drive.

first remove the screw at the back of the laptop (bottom) see first picture

than use a spudger to slide the dvd drive away of the laptop.

in this step we will remove the keyboard.

first remove the black screw on the bottom , it's next to the screw of the dvd drive.

than remove the 6 grey little screws of the battery compartment.

then remove the grey plastic board above the keyboard. see picture 3, to be continued in the next step

if you remove the grey plastic board be carefull for the wire and socket

than remove the other screws from the keyboard. see picture 2

now you can remove the keyboard.

remove the rest of the screws of the bottom plate.

now remove all the other screws on the upper case. (under the keyboard)

also remove the cables/wires.

the power board is in the left upper corner. be carefull with the sockets.

some wires are taped or glued so be carefull.

if every screw and wire is loose then you are ready to remove the grey plastic board (arround the keyboard)

slide the spudger arround the case. it's very easy to remove. just hear the clicks.

after removing this plastic frame , the main board is visible.

now we will remove the power PCB

first remove the connectors but be carefull they are very breakable. and remove the screw, than remove the PCB

then remove the red circled screw

the yellow and 3 blue screws are from the screen henges.

remove usb boards and sd card reader.

the yellow circkled PCB below is the Bluetooth PCB. watch out for the connector.

the blue circkled connector is the connector of the sd card reader PCB; be carefull if you remove.

the cpu koeler is in 2 pieces. 1 for the cpu and another chip. than a fan for the Nvidia chip.

remove and clean the pcu fan. in this laptop was a lot of cat hear, that caused a blocked fan.

also put new cpu cooling paste on the chips. ( and processor)
