To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

During assembly, take careful note of the following items:

  1. Keep track of the correct screws for each application.

  2. Components may need to be wiggled to allow for proper screw alignment.

  3. Don’t force screws in to avoid cross-threading.

  4. Ensure proper connector alignment when reconnecting the HDD and battery cables.
