To remove the palmrest assembly, see the exploded view of the palmrest assembly and perform the following steps:
1. Remove the display assembly.
2. Remove the keyboard.
3. Turn the computer face down.
4. Remove the seven 19-mm palmrest screws from the bottom of the computer.

After installing the palmrest assembly, make sure that the battery-bay release latch and the options-bay release latch operate smoothly. If they do not, slightly loosen the
two palmrest assembly screws that secure the latches so that the latches move easily.
