Figure 13. Pressing the power button to drain flea power
Steps
1. Remove the six screws (M2x4) and loosen the two captive screws that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard
assembly.
2. Using a plastic scribe, pry open the base cover starting from the recesses, which are located in the U-shaped indents at the
top edge of the base cover, near the hinges.
CAUTION:
Do not slide the scribe along the edges of the base cover as it may damage the latches inside the
base cover. Instead, insert the scribe at regular intervals and pry open the base cover.
3. Pry open the top of the base cover followed by the left, right, and bottom to release the base cover.
4. Lift the base cover off the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
5. Disconnect the battery cable from the connector (BATT1) on the system board.
6. Press and hold the power button for five seconds to ground the computer and drain the flea power.
