How to disassemble and clean any laptop yourself. Walkthrough. We disassemble the laptop at home Open the case of the netbook

A detailed description of how to disassemble and repair a laptop at home. As an example, it shows how to replace cracked hinges on a laptop.

General information about disassembling laptops

In this article I will try to show how to disassemble and assemble a laptop, I will dwell on important nuances that will help you do everything right. This guide complements other repair material: .

Important note: disassembling and repairing a laptop is a rather complicated operation. If you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to entrust the work to the service center. The author is not responsible for any consequences of your actions.

I was prompted to write this article by the need to replace the right hinge in the Asus N61Vn laptop:

Unpleasant situation. I had to order new hinges on eBay. A couple of weeks of waiting and new loops on my table:


To replace them, you need to disassemble almost the entire laptop. Let's get started.

Laptop disassembly and repair

First of all, you need to make some preparations. For disassembly, we need a set of screwdrivers:

The fact is that in a laptop you can find a variety of bolts. In order not to damage them when unscrewing, you need to use an appropriate screwdriver.

It is also highly recommended to use an anti-static wrist strap and mat. Static electricity in some cases can damage laptop electronics. Before disassembly, it is advisable to remove excess electrostatic charge from yourself by touching a grounded battery or piping.

Let me briefly describe what we have to do. To gain access to the hinges and other internal components of the system, you must first disassemble the base of the laptop. It most often consists of two halves, which are fastened with bolts on the bottom and sometimes under the keyboard. Also, these two halves are fastened around the perimeter with numerous latches. We have to carefully separate these halves.

Important note: since different nodes of the laptop use different bolts (at least 2-3 types), before parsing, remember where which bolt is used. This will simplify the subsequent assembly of the laptop.

Now you can move on to your laptop. Without fail, disconnect the laptop from the power supply and remove the battery:


Remove the bottom cover and drive. They are usually bolted on. Drives in most cases have a similar mounting system: they are held on one or more bolts. One is about 20 cm from the center of the disc tray. It can be accessed both from the bottom side and from the keyboard side. In this case, in addition to it, there is another bolt that holds the drive:


We unscrew both and pull out the drive itself:


Hard drives in laptops are most often placed in frames or other mounts:


To remove it, you first need to unscrew the bolts, and then move the basket with the hard drive to the side and lift it up.

When disassembling a laptop, it should be borne in mind that in addition to the panel bolts, hatches and other parts can hold such latches:


You have to be careful with them. In some cases, you need to gently pull the panel up, and in others move it a little. To replace the hinges, you must completely disassemble the entire laptop, disassemble the bottom. We unscrew all the bolts on the bottom and remove the cooling system:


Now carefully turn the laptop over and remove the keyboard. In many modern laptops, it is held on by latches at the top:

These latches are pressed into the case and at the same time we raise the keyboard:


When removing the keyboard, you need to disconnect its cable. There are two main mechanisms for attaching cables: using a frame that protrudes from the connector and which leans up. In this case, to remove the keyboard, you need to gently move the frame away from the connector with a screwdriver:

In the same way, you need to pull out the cable above. But to disable the touchpad cable, you need to turn the frame up:


I specifically focus on this, since often not knowing how to open the connectors leads to damage to the frames, the connectors themselves and the cables. It's hard to fix them.

We continue. Now you need to unscrew the bolts under the keyboard. They hold the base halves of the laptop together. When all the bolts are unscrewed, carefully separate the halves of the base:


At this stage, it is important to do everything carefully so as not to damage the latches. After a little disassembly, we finally get access to the hinges. Here is the left one:


And here is the broken one:


We unscrew them and release the roof with the matrix:


Now let's take a look at the lid itself. It usually consists of two halves. They are held on by bolts and latches. The bolts are usually under the overlays:

We remove them and unscrew the bolts:


After that, we finally get access to the broken loop of the matrix:


We change it to a new one:


Please note an interesting detail. There is a small nut on the hinge:


It serves to adjust the tightness of the buttonhole. If you unscrew it a little, then the lid will open easier, if you tighten it, it will be more difficult. The hinges can be adjusted if desired.

Assembling the lid with lining:


And now we collect the whole laptop. Pay special attention to the loops. Before installing the cooling system, do not forget to remove the old thermal paste and apply a new one:


This does not apply to heat transfer pads. They don't need to be changed.

After a few minutes, the laptop is assembled and working. The loop has been replaced:


That's all. Thank you for your attention!

    More on proper computer maintenance

    The reason for the fear of opening the case of these compact devices is understandable. What if I damage or break something?

    Well, then. Now your doubts will be dispelled. You will clearly see the real story in the pictures asus netbook minor repair(cleaning of dust and lubrication of the cooler, which began to make noise during operation).

    The unprecedented anomalous heat of the past summer caused a lot of trouble for the owners of computer equipment. She will surely be remembered by many of us :-(

    Someone at this high temperature could not stand their home computer, someone had a laptop, and someone probably had more serious problems, such as the failure of various communication network equipment at the enterprise.

    Here is a real educational story about laptop repair Shevtsova - how to open the case and disassemble netbook acus:

    The summer heat also did not bypass me, and in mid-August my faithfully served netbook ASUS eee pc 1101ha began to howl strainedly with his only cooler, which stopped buzzing only after a noticeable tapping with a finger on the netbook case.

    But after a while he started groaning noisily again. This did not affect the performance of the netbook, but, of course, it caused certain inconveniences during work, as a result of which, after almost a month, I nevertheless decided to try to fix the problem with my own hands.

    how to disassemble asus laptop

    Notebook Opening Guide and
    ASUS netbooks on the example of eee pc

    Having not found a detailed answer on the Internet to the question of how to painlessly open my mobile friend, it was decided to find a description of the process of disassembling any of ASUS laptops or netbooks, and having already studied it, proceed to Opening the case of the netbook ASUS eee pc.

    So, for half an hour, several articles on a similar topic were studied, after which a computer operating table was prepared:

    As you can see in the photo, I have already removed eight screws from the back of the ASUS netbook and removed the protective cover for the RAM expansion slot.

    What we have in the form of tools:

    Screwdriver "8 in 1"
    - Oriflame tape measure screwdriver
    - A set of master keys bought on the market for a penny
    - A short screwdriver from a simple set

    In general, I always have all these tools at hand, and the patient did not need some of them during our operation, and the other part, which is not in this photo, will be discussed below.

    How to disassemble a laptop

    Applies to almost all netbook models (not only ASUS)

    After the screws were unscrewed, the RAM and battery were removed from the case, an attempt was made to remove the case itself.

    An attempt to remove the hull was unsuccessful. It became clear that you would first have to remove the front of the netbook, but before that, the keyboard:


    At netbooks and laptops the keyboard is removable quite simple, you just need to press on top of a few "locks" around its perimeter.

    There are four of them, and they are all in its upper part:


    The abrasions on the keyboard are actually just stickers with the usual letter layout. But in order to completely remove the keyboard, we also need to disconnect the cable.

    It is not held in the usual way, but on a special latch (for reliability), which does not allow it to move away from the connector. The clasp is effortlessly removed from both sides with the help of one of the prepared master keys:

    After that, the most interesting action is to unscrew the last screw, protected by a sticker with a warning about the loss of warranty in case of violation of its integrity, and try to remove the front side of the netbook's working surface (the principle is similar for laptops):

    This part of the netbook case is removed at the same time, as it were, simply and at the same time, it is difficult and responsible, since there is a risk of breaking thin plastic.

    In general, it is difficult to advise something here, except to take the thinnest of the available master keys, find a gap between the back and front of the case with it, and gradually bypass all the “locks”, prying them in turn.

    Gradually consolidating the success achieved by fixing the resulting gap with something suitable in size. In the end, we get the long-awaited picture asus netbook disassembled case:


    Locks are easy to find if you have ever done such things: in those places where it seems that the plastic is about to break - there is a “lock” :)

    You can also use an old SIM card from a mobile phone. Somewhere on the corner you put it into the gap between the covers and with a slight movement of your hand you snap off all the “locks” around the perimeter.

    With simple manipulations, he is hooked, and the process goes on. For example, here's one of them, right in the middle:

    Do not forget that here, as in the case of the keyboard, we are waiting for another cable, which this time comes from the touchpad (the analogue of the mouse on laptops and netbooks is the square under the keys).

    As you can see, small repair laptop or netbook at home turns out to be not so difficult.

    This cable is also attached in a special way, only this time the latch rises, and does not move forward as before (here it is already raised):

    And now we finally got to the cooler (fan), and at the same time to all the other removable parts of the netbook.

    Removing this fan does not present any problem - you need to unscrew two screws and disconnect it from the motherboard, to which it is attached using a conventional (without fasteners) connector:


    And here is our hero of the occasion, because of which we had to disassemble the entire netbook asus eee pc... after all, this particular cooler did not want to work quietly.

    In principle, you can change the fan (cooler) on a netbook without any problems. If you find exactly the same in the store. But now we will bring the old one back to life.

    And here it suddenly turns out that the cooler itself is already packed in a case, which is closed with the help of two "clock" bolts, which it is not possible to unscrew with our tools.

    We need to get to the fan. How to clean the cooler from dust and lubricate the fan in the laptop yourself look further.

    An ordinary clerical knife comes to the rescue, with the help of which the bolts are removed, and when opened, a small strip of foam rubber is torn along the line of the protective iron casing.

    The photo below shows its tip, looking out in the upper right corner of the piece of iron, as well as the casing itself, which is attached to one of the sides of the plastic case:

    In this photo, the cooler is already clean, and a brush for cleaning the lens of the camera helped in this.

    If you don’t have such a brush at hand, then you can build a semblance of this little thing from thick paper folded into several layers, cut into strips from one part.

    You will get something like an impromptu brush, which in its properties will even surpass the analogue, since in the process of cleaning the fan, rather stiffer bristles are required than in brushes for cleaning camera lenses.

    How to oil a laptop cooler

    It is better to remove the top part of the cooler before cleaning. It is attached to the magnetic interaction and nothing more. However...

    This, however, is enough for a few minutes of misunderstanding for those who do it for the first time, how to remove it painlessly to eliminate dirt and lubricate the mechanism itself.

    Lubricate only the sleeve on which the fan blades spin. The photo clearly shows where it is subsequently inserted:


    Now you know how to produce asus cooler repair and how to lubricate laptop cooler independently at home.

    Disassemble laptop or netbook for this you can easily :)

    The vast majority of not only ASUS laptops and netbooks, but also other companies, such as aser, samsung, lenovo, etc., are disassembled in this way.

    In addition, some modern models of Lenovo netbooks and laptops have a special hole for pouring lubricating oil into the fan without dismantling its case.


    Secrets and subtleties of working on a computer

    By tradition, such articles begin with a warning, and I will not break the tradition.

    Thoughtlessly following the instructions in this article can damage your laptop, be careful.

    The main reasons for disassembling a laptop:

    1. Upgrade
    2. Replacement of defective parts inside the case
    3. Cleaning the cooling system from dust, replacing thermal paste
    4. Keyboard replacement
    5. Replacing the matrix (screen)

    The complexity of the disassembly depends on the reason for the disassembly. I highly recommend finding instructions for disassembling your laptop model, it will indicate in detail and with pictures what and in what sequence to disassemble, but if there is no instruction, read on.

    1. Dismantling a laptop for an upgrade.

    As a rule, this is the easiest type of disassembly, replacing a hard drive or adding RAM is a regular procedure, in most cases it is enough to unscrew a few screws on the bottom of the laptop and remove the covers covering the memory and hard drive and replace them. Occasionally there are models where, to replace the memory, you need to remove the keyboard, or completely unscrew the bottom of the laptop.

    2. Replacement of defective parts inside the case

    Sometimes you can repair a laptop yourself by disassembling and replacing faulty devices, a wifi card, a video card, RAM, a hard drive, etc. The complexity of disassembly depends on the device being replaced, it is more difficult to replace a wifi card than RAM or a hard drive, which are usually easier to access.

    3. Cleaning the cooling system from dust

    In most cases, to remove dust, the laptop will have to be disassembled almost completely, to replace the thermal paste, it will have to be completely disassembled. You can determine whether you need to replace the thermal paste by eye by the age of the laptop and the mode of operation, if the laptop is 2-3 years old, and during operation it regularly heated up, then most likely the thermal paste has already dried up and has ceased to perform its functions sufficiently.

    4. Keyboard replacement

    As a rule, the keyboard is held on by latches and is additionally fixed with screws from the bottom, so to replace it, you will have to disassemble the laptop completely. Sometimes the keyboard screws are accessible from the bottom of the laptop, in which case only a few screws can be removed.

    5. Replacing the matrix (screen)

    In the first 4 paragraphs, the laptop matrix was not affected in any way, and all actions can be carried out without removing the motherboard, but in order to replace the matrix in some models, you will have to disassemble the laptop almost completely.

    The general algorithm for disassembling a laptop without instructions using the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E430 as an example.

    Before disassembling, turn off the power to the laptop, turn off the charger from the mains and unplug it from the laptop.

    Step 1.

    Slide the latches towards the open lock icon and remove the battery

    Step 2

    Unscrew the screws

    To remove the keyboard, Steps 3-11 are optional and can be skipped.

    Step 3

    Remove the cover, now you have access to the innards of the laptop
    CMOS battery - CMOS memory battery
    Wireless card - wifi card
    hard drive - hard drive
    Cooling fan - cooling fan
    RAM - RAM modules

    Step 4

    Loosen the marked screw and pull the DVD drive in the direction of the arrow.

    Step 5

    Unscrew the screws holding the hard drive, slide it in the direction of the arrow.

    Step 6

    Lift and remove the hard drive, the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E430 has a standard 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, it can be replaced with an ssd.

    Step 7

    Disconnect the CMOS memory battery, check its voltage, it should be about 3V, if it is lower, replace the battery.

    Step 8

    Disconnect the antenna cables from the wifi card

    Unscrew the screw

    Lift up and remove the wifi card

    Step 9

    The cooling fan is held by 3 screws, unscrew them

    Disconnect the power cable

    Step 10

    Take out the fan

    STEP 11.

    If necessary, clean the radiators of the cooling system, it is best to do this with a brush or blow them with air.

    STEP 12.

    Now you can start removing the keyboard

    Loosen two screws

    Step 13

    Slide the keyboard in the direction of the arrow.

    Step 14

    Step 15

    Disconnect the cables, see below for how to do this.

    Step 16

    It is necessary to lift in the direction of the arrow the black latch that blocks the cable in the connector

    Step 17

    Pull the cable, it should easily come out of the connector.

    Step 18

    The keyboard is removed, now you can replace it with a working one and reassemble the laptop in reverse order.

    Instruction

    A laptop is a more complex and compact system than a typical computer tower, and when disassembling it, you need to be very careful not to break the device and make it unusable. Parsing should begin with its carefully external examination. Turn upside down. On the bottom you will see covers under which various peripheral modules will be hidden - RAM, hard drive, Wi-Fi module and others. The first step is to remove the battery. Even if you have previously disconnected the laptop from the network, many of its nodes may be energized. Loosen any screws that you can see, while being careful not to lose sight of the screws hidden under the modular covers and the battery.

    Now you need to remove all devices. The hard drive is usually removed by shifting in the opposite direction from the connector. Some discs may have a special tab to make this task easier. The next step is to remove the disk drive, its fastening screws are located on the bottom, but in some cases it may have additional fastenings under it, and then you will have to wait a little while removing the drive. Disconnect the power cables of the CPU cooler and the Wi-Fi module, remove the cooler. The need to periodically clean the cooler from dust may arise even if you work in a clean, ventilated area. You will be surprised at the layer of dust accumulated on the fan. If the cooler was your goal, then after cleaning it, the laptop should be assembled in the reverse order of disassembly.

    But this does not always help, sometimes it becomes necessary to clean the heatsink and update the thermal paste on the processor chip. Loosen the radiator mounting screws. Usually the radiator is fixed with 4 screws and one of them is hidden under the warranty sticker. If the old thermal paste has dried out, it may take a little effort to separate the heat sink from the processor, but remember, caution is your everything, brute force can completely ruin your computer. On this work with the bottom, you can finish and turn the laptop to its normal position. All other fixing screws are located under the keyboard, in different laptops the keyboard is removed in different ways, but upon closer inspection, all of them can be found with grooves and latches, which can be used to remove the keyboard from the laptop. Disable keyboard cable. If you set out to get to the matrix, then you will need to remove the top cover of the laptop. Do not forget to turn off the matrix cable before this. Examine the laptop for hidden screws, unscrew them. Remove its top cover. The matrix itself is attached to the case with screws, when dismantled, it also becomes possible to access the inverter.

    To remove the display, you need to remove the plugs located around the perimeter of the screen, unscrew the screws under them and, with a gentle force, remove the frame from the display. Having thrown back the cable, you can freely remove the display matrix from the laptop. How deep you disassemble your laptop will depend on your end goals, but remember, you need to know exactly what you're disassembling for. If you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to contact a special repair service, the specialists working there will cope with disassembly much faster and better, and most importantly, they will not harm the computer due to the lack of necessary experience.

    On this page of our magical site, we offer you detailed and illustrated instructions for disassembling a fairly popular netbook at the present time. ASUS EEE PCX101CH. This netbook model from ASUS is interesting in that it does not have a cooling system as such (!), which, however, does not affect its performance at all. Apparently, ASUS still managed to somehow solve the problem of heat dissipation of the CPU and chips during their operation, therefore, the cooling system itself is absent in this model as a class - the netbook does not heat up at all during its operation :) This was made possible thanks to the Intel Atom processor N2600, which has a maximum TDP of 3.5 W and is based on the Cedar Trail core. Well, at such a rate of development of nano-technologies, ASUS will soon have at least a perpetual motion machine or a time machine :-)) disassembling netbook ASUS EEE PCX101CH .

    The disassembly of the netbook itself is no different from the disassembly of full-fledged laptops and naturally begins with the removal of the battery (battery).

    There are not so many screws - there are only 11 of them, but, nevertheless, in order not to miss anything, we unscrew all the screws in sequence, moving clockwise along the perimeter of the case to its center :-)

    Usually, when disassembling any laptop, an engineer puts the screws into two boxes - into one the screws turned out from the bottom of the case, and into the second he puts the screws from the top of the case (this is done so as not to get confused, because it is impossible to remember all the types and lengths of the screws that he unscrewed disassembling a particular laptop). Thus, when reassembling a laptop, the engineer insures himself against improper assembly, in which quite often it turns out that instead of a short screw, a long one is screwed in, as a result of which very unpleasant bulges are formed on the front surface of the laptop, pressed through by a long screw, which cannot be removed even when replacing the screw succeeds, which leads to a permanently damaged appearance of the laptop :) With such problems, sometimes laptop case needs to be replaced, which leads to unjustified costs when repairing a laptop ...

    Now we unscrew the screws from the end of the case in the battery compartment, there are only two of them.

    Well, all the screws are out - now you can start layering the netbook case. This is easiest to do with some kind of sharp cutter, for example: a surgical scalpel. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the case latches and the netbook case itself is quite fragile (budget plastic used in the manufacture of laptop cases is of rather poor quality, so it breaks and cracks even with little effort, this must be taken into account when disassembling laptops)

    We stratify the netbook around the entire perimeter of the case neatly and slowly :)

    When separating the top panel (topcase), it is unforgettable to disconnect the touchpad and keyboard cables from the laptop motherboard.

    Here you need to be extremely careful not to damage the connector clamps (they are also quite fragile and easily broken if mishandled)

    With thin tweezers, slightly push one corner, then the second, after which we remove the cable from the open connector.

    As you can see from this photo, the ASUS EEE PC X101CH laptop does not have a single memory slot - all RAM chips are soldered directly on the motherboard. Thus, there is no possibility of increasing the RAM at all. In this laptop model, for some reason, the manufacturer installed only 1 gigabyte of DDR3 800 MHz memory (which is soldered on the mother), although the Intel Atom N2600 processor also combines the north bridge and the video chip (by the way, it is also soldered on the motherboard and about its upgrade you can forget) easily supports up to 2 gigabytes of RAM. On the other hand, what can you expect from a $270 netbook? The budget option, as a rule, always has a dead-end configuration for upgrading ...

    Well, we are finishing our brief review of the possibilities, or rather, the impossibility of upgrading this netbook model from ASUS, and, back to the topic of this article - DIY disassembly netbook ASUS EEE PC X101CH .

    The keyboard and touchpad connectors are identical in design and differ only in their size, so there is no need to repeat in order to disconnect the touchpad cable.

    Now the netbook is disassembled into two parts, it remains only to remove the hard drive, wireless network module and motherboard

    Extremely carefully disconnect the matrix cable

    When dismantling the connecting cable of the motherboard and the communication ports board, you should pay attention that they have a slightly different design that differs from the keyboard and touchpad connectors - the cable lock opens upwards, and not horizontally. It is important! These connectors are even more delicate and much easier to break, so in no case should you try to open them in a left-right manner. Here it is best to use a plastic card to lift the latch for the entire plane, and not for one of its edges.

    Toshiba 320 GB SATA-2 hard drive (5400 rpm) fixed with four M2.5x6 screws

    Under the connecting cable there is a Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n module. It has only one antenna wire connected to the "MAIN" connector.

    We dismantle and remove the hard drive manufactured by TOSHIBA of the SLIM form factor with a capacity of 320 GB with a SATA-2 interface and a thickness of only 7 mm, which again indicates the impossibility of upgrading the netbook with a more capacious hard drive (at the moment, the maximum capacity of drives of the SATA-2 SLIM form factor limited to 320 gigabytes). So, in this netbook, a maximum capacity hard drive is installed. Of course, if you wait somewhere for 3-6 months, then, most likely, SLIM form factor drives of a larger volume will appear on sale - 500, 750 or even 1000 Gigabytes ... Well, let's continue the simple disassembly of the ASUS netbook.

    The WI-FI module is fastened with just 1 screw, it has a class "N" with a data transfer rate of up to 300 Mps, this is ATHEROS AR5B91 802.11 n / b / g PCI Express MiniCard

    We disconnect the last cable of the 0.3 Mpx WEB-camera with a microphone going from the laptop matrix to the motherboard.

    Now we dismantle the netbook motherboard:

    We continue to consistently unscrew all the screws that secure the motherboard in the netbook case (there are only 7 of them)

    All the screws that secure the netbook's motherboard are marked with a small white triangle or square, so you won't unscrew an extra screw by following the tips from the manufacturers of this netbook :)

    Now be sure to disconnect the CMOS battery (netbook BIOS non-volatile memory)

    Everything, now you can remove the motherboard from the netbook case:

    This is how the motherboard looks in a "naked" form: on the top we see four RAM chips, a little lower - the Intel Atom N2600 Central Processor chip made on the same chip with the north bridge and the video card, to the left of it is the power microcontroller, which provides power to all the components of the netbook . Just below the power microcontroller, we see a black square microcircuit soldered to the motherboard using BGA technology, this is the so-called. The "SOUTH BRIDGE" of a laptop is a key chip responsible for almost all ports of a laptop, keyboard, touchpad, hard drive and CD drive (if any). Below the processor and to the right of the south bridge, a rectangular chip is visible. This is the so-called CLOKER - a microcircuit responsible for the frequency at which each key microcircuit, including the Central Processing Unit, operates, that is, as you know, a computer has several buses and interfaces in its structure that are connected to certain key microcircuits that operate at different frequencies. Thus, this rectangular microcircuit provides all the important elements of a computer, in this case a laptop - bridges and a CPU, with the frequencies at which they must operate in order to ensure uninterrupted and correct operation of the computer.

    Next in line is disassembling or dismantling the top cover of the netbook in order to remove matrix and cable for netbook ASUS EEE PC X101CH . You need to start this work with a certain tool, in our case it will be an ordinary surgical scalpel (it is convenient for this type of work):

    Along the entire perimeter of the netbook screen, you must carefully walk with a scalpel in order to disengage the latches on which the two halves of the netbook display cover are attached. You need to do this very carefully so as not to break something - the plastic from which the top cover of this netbook is made is of rather poor quality, so it is quite fragile and there is a big risk of irretrievably breaking the hooks and latches and then, when reassembling the top cover of the netbook display, certain problems - there will be large gaps and gaps in the cover of the netbook matrix, which can only be removed by gluing two parts of the top cover with super-glue "Super_Moment" and similar adhesives. If you do not need this, then you need to very carefully delaminate the display cover when disassembling it. If you can’t do it and you are not sure that you won’t break something, then it’s not worth the risk - in this case, YOU better contact our service center for a professional replacement of the display by our engineers. Believe: this work will cost you MUCH CHEAPER than independent and unskilled disassembly of the display cover :)

    Break - NOT build :-))

    Well, the frame of the display cover has been removed, now we proceed to further disassembly of the display - we dismantle the matrix of the SLIM form factor and diagonals of 1024x768 10.1". and under artificial lighting.

    Here we see a small rectangular board of a 0.3 megapixel webcam made together with a discrete microphone

    Now it remains only to dismantle the matrix from the display cover - it is fixed with four M2.5x5 screws

    Now we unscrew the four screws that secure the matrix (display) cover to the main body of the laptop

    Of course, when separating the display cover from its lower part, do not forget to disconnect the 40-pin cable of the LCD matrix with LED backlight. The cable is fixed with a piece of transparent tape, it can be easily removed with tweezers or sharp nails :)
