Steps:

1. Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the three 6.4 mm screws securing the metal brackets.
2. Keep the screws organized in a safe and clearly labeled area to ensure an easy reinstallation later.

3. Use an iFixit opening tool or nylon spudger to gently separate the bottom cover from the Chromebook.
4. Only use plastic or nylon tools when prying open the case. Metal tools can easily scratch or damage the internal components.
5. Insert the tip of the opening tool into the seam between the top and bottom covers, then slide it along the perimeter to release the internal clips securing the case.
6. Insert opening picks around the edges as you go to prevent the clips from reattaching.
7. Once all clips are released, carefully lift and remove the bottom cover from the device.

8. Disconnect the ribbon cables from the motherboard.
9. Disconnect the fan cable from the motherboard by pulling the connector straight out.
10. For helpful tips on disconnecting cable connectors, refer to the Recognizing and Disconnecting Cable Connectors guide.
11. Do not pull on the cables directly. Always disconnect by gripping the connector to prevent tearing the ribbon or damaging the socket.

12. Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the three 6.4 mm screws securing the metal brackets to the motherboard assembly.
13. Apply gentle, steady pressure when loosening the screws to avoid stripping the heads or damaging the surrounding components.
14. Once the screws are removed, lift and remove the brackets from the device. Keep them in a safe place for reinstallation.

15. Disconnect the speaker wire connector from the motherboard by gently pulling it straight out of its socket using tweezers or your fingers.
16. Avoid pulling on the wires themselves—grip the plastic connector to prevent damage to the speaker cable or motherboard port.

17. Disconnect all cables attached to the motherboard.
18. Remove the mounting screws securing the motherboard.
19. Carefully remove the motherboard from the base.

20. Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screws from the hinge connecting the screen to the base.
21. Disconnect the cable connector located beneath the motherboard.

22. Tilt the screen back and lift it out of the case.
