This technician has left out several crucial steps for this repair several screws on the bottom and several underneath the keyboard before the laptop casing will come apart, common sense for a tech but a how-to should not leave these details out.

These instructions ruined my friends laptops. PLEASE do not post directions like this if you don’t know what you ‘re doing as folks like me will mistakenly assume that you do & attempt this and then damage cables. VERY, VERY careful folks! Cost me $200 for a replacement laptop.

If you do not remove the screws you will crack the keyboard and cover.
