Introduction

Remember, computer components are fragile. Be careful with clips and wiring when disassembling and reassembling the computer. They can easily break or get pinched. It may also be helpful to take a picture of wiring routing and component placement before disassembly as a reference for reassembly. Note that there are multiple screw lengths in this application. Pay attention to their locations.
