Steps:

1. Before you begin, discharge your laptop battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
2. Power off your laptop and disconnect the charger and any peripheries before beginning disassembly.
3. Set the laptop down with the lower case facing up.
4. Lift a corner of the lower silicone foot and peel it completely off.
5. Repeat for the upper silicone foot.

6. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the five 8 mm screws.
7. Remove the two 5 mm Phillips screws.

8. Insert an opening pick into the gap between the lower case and chassis.
9. Starting from a corner is recommended.
10. Slide the pick around the entire perimeter of the device until the lower case fully releases.
11. Remove the lower case.

12. Detach the coaxial connector by grabbing it securely from the gold colored metal section and gently lifting upwards.
13. Don't tug on it from the white end or towards the side. It is likely to get damaged.

14. Remove the four 4 mm Phillips screws that secure the two hinges.

15. Flip up the black locking flap on the ZIF connector.
16. Disconnect the display cable.

17. Use an opening tool to lift up the hinges.
18. Grab the hinge and pull it outwards.
19. Repeat onto the other hinge.

20. Gently grab the plastic cover and use both hands to lift it slowly from one side to the other.
21. Lift up the plastic cover to fully detach it.

22. Remove the six silver 4 mm Phillips screws that secure the hinges to the screen.
