    • Make sure the device is fully powered off.

    • Flip the computer over so that the back is facing up.

    • Remove the twelve 6mm Phillips #1 screws from the bottom of the laptop.

    Some of the screws are long and some are short - make sure you not which came out of which hold.

    As always, I would recommend that you remember exactly where you remove the screws from, on this particular model, we did not see that the screws were different lengths. I would recommend sorting them in a pattern that is familiar, such as clockwise or counterclockwise. This way when replacing the screws you know exactly the order to put them back in.

    • Use the iFixit opening tools as wedges to pry the back of the laptop off.

    • Go slow, making sure not to snap the plastic. With enough of a gap made, you can use your hand to finish taking off the back.

I just want to say that I’ve used this guide several times. My kid dropped the laptop and broke the hinge which is located inside the top cover behind the LCD panel. When this happened, it caused the grommets to come out of the plastic. But for about $45 we replaced the hinge and the top cover and I was able to fix it and put it all back together. I appreciate having this guide to remind me. Thank you!

Thank you so much for these instructions! The connections were the hardest part for me and the pictures were a great help.
