Steps:
- Before you begin, power off your device completely and disconnect from the charging adapter.
- Flip the laptop over so the bottom is facing up.
- Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove ten 5.6 mm screws from the back panel.
- Place the end of an opening tool in the seam between the bottom and top case and slide it around the perimeter to release the clips holding it together.
- Use a few opening picks in the seam to keep the clips from reattaching.
- Remove the back panel.
- Use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the battery connector to "walk" it out of its socket on the motherboard.
- It may take a lot of alternating before the connector comes out. Be patient, and don't pull on the cables.
- To reconnect the cable, align the connector and use a spudger or clean fingernail to push it fully into the socket.
- Don't push on the cables themselves, or you may damage the connector.
- Lift the battery upwards to remove it from the device.
- Slide a thin, ESD-safe pry tool or angled tweezers under the metal neck of the white coaxial cable connector (as close to the head as possible) and lift straight up from the board.
- Repeat to disconnect the black coaxial cable connector.
- Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the 2 mm screw securing the Wi-Fi card to the motherboard.
- Slide the Wi-Fi card out from the socket.
