Step 1: Battery Removal Preparation

Flip the laptop upside down with the front face down on a flat surface.

Step 4: Remove Back Panel Screws

Prepare to detach the back panel by removing securing screws:

Using the Phillips #00 screwdriver, unscrew the fourteen 7mm screws until the back panel comes loose.

Step 5: Pry Off Back Panel

Carefully separate the back panel from the laptop chassis:

Using either the blue plastic opening tools or a spudger tool, wedge one between the back panel and the laptop.
Apply pressure upwards until the back panel pops off.

⚠️ If the back panel is difficult to remove and feels like it is going to break, DO NOT force it. Check to confirm that all the screws are removed before attempting again.

Step 6: Access Internal Components

With the back panel removed, internal components are accessible:

The computer should now be open with the motherboard exposed and internal components visible. You should now be able to access the Fan and RAM. There are more necessary steps to follow before accessing the screen and keyboard.
