4.1.3 Disassembly Sequence
The disassembly procedure described in this manual is divided into four major sections:
• Section 4.2: Replacing Memory
• Section 4.3: Removing the hard disk drive
• Section 4.4: Removing the keyboard
• Section 4.5: Disassembling the inside frame assembly
• Section 4.6: Disassembling the display
The following table lists the components that need to be removed during servicing. For example,
if you want to remove the motherboard, you must first remove the keyboard, then disassemble the
inside assembly frame in that order.
