Step 3
Don’t take it all the way off! Just loosen the connection between the back panel and the laptop. Watch out for that VGA port – it has a habit of getting snagged on the panel during this step. A little careful attention goes a long way!
– Gently insert an opening tool into the laptop’s seam and carefully pry the back panel away from the device, working your way around to loosen it. Take your time and give each clip a gentle pry to free the panel smoothly.
– Once the back panel is lifted, you’ll see the cable linking the back cover to the motherboard. Carefully disconnect or lift it to proceed with your repair. If you need a hand, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 4
Handle the socket with care—it’s a bit delicate, so nudge the cable connector out gently.
– Gently pull out the cable from its socket – easy does it!
– Now, completely remove the back case from your device. Take your time and get it off smoothly.
