Anleitung

Step 1
Flip your system upside down and remove the warranty sticker located by the three ports.

Unscrew the 5.0mm screw using a T8 security Torx screwdriver.
Step 2
In the same position, pry up both of the corners of the bottom cover until you hear a loud click from both sides.

Hinweis: Note This requires a bit of force so take your time.

Continue by sliding the cover towards the back and then lift up.
Step 3
Located towards the right side, unscrew the 4.0mm screw using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

Hinweis: Note There is a small arrow pointing at the desired screw.
Step 4
Flip your system right side up, facing you.

Pry up the front two corners of the top cover

Hinweis: Note The same as removing the bottom cover, this part requires some force.

Continue by sliding the top cover towards the backside and lift up.
Step 5
Unscrew the two screws holding the metal plate using a T8 screwdriver.

Hinweis: Note Left one is a 24 mm screw, and the right one is a 31 mm screw.

Remove the metal plate.
Step 6
Unscrew the 3.0mm screw holding the antenna using a Phillip #00 screwdriver.

Lift the antenna up.
Step 7
Using a Phillips 00# screwdriver, unscrew all Phillips screws.

Unscrew the 31.0mm screw using a T8 screwdriver.
Step 8
With the welded plastics, use either a tweezer, a nose plier, or a metal spudger to round off the tops until the metal cover can be lifted out.

Hinweis: Note This may take some time if you only use a tweezer or a metal spludger. A nose plier may be the best and most efficient at this.

Vorsicht: Caution If you overdue this part, you can leave the welded screws too thin to hold down the cover which could make the metal cover loose and cause rattle noises.

Erinnerung: Reminder When reversing this part, try to push down on the tops of the welds so they are able to hold the cover once again.
Step 9
Slightly lift up the power supply from where it is holding the metal cover.

Lift up the metal cover then pull out from the power supply.
Step 10
Use a Philips 00# screwdriver to unscrew the two 3.0mm screws.

Remove the small metal piece just by lifting up.

Remove disc drive by first pulling up from the back side and then slide it out.
Step 11
To remove rollers, pull up on the white connector rod.

Then slide the left roller out of the white small gear.
Step 12
To return the rollers back into position, first place the left roller back, connecting to the white gear, and push down until you hear a click.

Erinnerung: Reminder Make sure the larger black end is facing the small white connector rod for both rollers.

Align the ends of the white connector rod to the holes at the end of the right roller. Then place the right side of the right roller down first so you can connect the left roller to the white connector rod.

Push down between the white connector rod and the right roller until you hear a click.
