Nice mate
What technique is used on step 4 to remove the bottom? I need to remove mine but want to be careful not to break tabs or damage the edge.
Seems no one highlights this… its always unscrew then magically they show it with the bottom off.
Hi Neccros,
It has been a while since I have performed that procedure (step 4). However, I remember that I used the plastic prying tool to loosen as many parts of the bottom that I could before using my hands. I don’t remember it being easy to damage the bottom as long as you loosen each part slowly and then pull with your hands slowly. If you feel too much resistance, stop prying and double-check you have removed all screws. I also recommend watching a youtube video where someone takes a laptop apart. That might help you visualize the process before you start. Best of luck!
