To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Dispose of old Lithium-ion batteries appropriately.

Note that the keyboard connector can be difficult to align and reconnect properly. It should be easier with good visibility. It is recommended to insert the connector flat, parallel to the motherboard, rather than in an angled position between the user’s fingers.

If the user wishes to test the keyboard before closing up the device completely, they can connect the laptop to the AC adaptor, which will allow it to power on. Consider using caution.
