  1. Remove the eight screws (M2x4) that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
  2. Loosen the three captive screws (M2x8) that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
    CAUTION Do not pull on or pry the base cover at the side where the hinges are located; doing so may damage the base cover.
    NOTE Upon loosening the three captive screws (M2x8), the base cover will pop up creating a gap between the base cover and the palm-rest assembly.
  3. Lift the base cover; use a plastic scribe for gentle prying of the cover, if necessary.
  4. Disconnect the battery cable from the system board.
  5. Turn your computer over and press the power button for 15 seconds to drain the flea power.
