Steps
1. Remove the eight screws (M2x3, Torx 5) that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
2. Starting from the bottom-left corner, use a plastic scribe to pry the base cover in the direction of the arrows to release the base cover
from the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
CAUTION: Do not pull on or pry the base cover from the side where the hinges are; doing so may damage the base
cover.
3. Hold both sides of the base cover and rotate the base cover from bottom to top to remove it from the palm-rest and keyboard
assembly.
NOTE:
The pins at the bottom of the base cover for grounding the antennas and the audio board are fragile. Place
the base cover on a clean surface to avoid damage to the pins.
