About this task
NOTE: The system board can be removed and installed with the heatsink attached to simplify the procedure and preserve
the thermal bond between the system board and heatsink.
NOTE: The palm-rest and keyboard assembly cannot be further disassembled once all the pre-removal parts procedures are
completed. If the fingerprint-reader (for computers shipped with a fingerprint reader), touchpad frame, touchpad support
bracket, touchpad module, or touchpad FFC are malfunctioning and has to be replaced, replace the entire palm-rest and
keyboard assembly.
