yank it right out of the computer, but why take the chance?) Fold the panel almost to its
maximum open position.
Lift the upper trim piece up and remove it. Using both hands is helpful and recommended.
I couldn't because I had to take the picture somehow...
Do not play with the power button, standby switch or lid closure switch. At least two
of them are spring loaded and may shoot off to the great beyond if you play with them.
9. You should now see the processor heatsink and quite a bit of metal shielding material if
nobody has ever been inside your computer.
I would suggest taking the time now to remove the metal shielding. All it does is get into
the way and the LTE won't miss it a bit when you are done. The shielding may simply be
pulled out firmly. Be careful so you don't cut yourself while removing it.
10. Disconnect the microphone, pointing device, keyboard and ground wires. This takes a
few different steps.
The microphone connector is a simple two-piece plug. Grasp it at the connecting point and
separate the connectors.
11. Remove the ground wires. There are two of these at each end of the grey keyboard
plastic. Unscrew them. I recommend leaving the screws threaded into the wires as you pull
them out so you don't lose them inside the computer. When the wires are free from the
holes they go into, take the screws out and then set them aside. This is much easier than
trying to take the screws out with only a screwdriver.
