Steps:
- Close the screen and lay your laptop down with the rear case facing up to access the four rubber feet.
- Each foot has a recess to help pry it from the laptop:

- The front feet recesses are closest to the front edge of the laptop.
- Insert one arm of your tweezers into the recess of one of the feet.
- Twist your tweezers and pry up to separate the adhesive and unclip the foot from the laptop.
- The feet eject very quickly—be careful not to lose them.
- Remove the foot.
- Repeat this process on the remaining feet.
- This laptop has two different types of feet. During reassembly, make sure the feet go in their correct recesses.
- The rear feet have a single center clip.
- The front feet have three clips and can only be reinserted one way.
- Press the feet into their recesses to secure them to the frame.
- If the existing feet no longer adhere to the frame, remove the old adhesive and apply a small amount of Tesa Tape where the old adhesive was.
- If the feet are damaged or worn out, use 8 mm rubber furniture pads:
- Peel a pad away from its backing.
- Align the pad over a foot cavity and press down to secure it.
