Steps 1. Remove the eight screws (M2x3, Torx 5) that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly. NOTE: A Torx #5 (T5) screwdriver is necessary to remove the six screws (M2x3, Torx 5). 2. Place your thumbs and fingers into the recess at the top edge of the base cover. 3. Hold the top side of the base cover and push the base cover slightly to the rear of the computer. NOTE: This action releases the base cover from the hooks that are on the palm-rest and keyboard assembly. NOTE: Do not pull on or pry the base cover from where the display assembly hinges are, doing so may damage the base cover. 4. Lift the base cover off the palm-rest and keyboard assembly. 5. If the thermal pad that covers the BGA solid-state drive is dislodged after the base cover is removed, replace the thermal pad to its original position. Removing and installing components 13
