Remove the bottom plate If you want to do some upgrading, cleaning, or you need to change a broken part, you need to remove the entire bottom panel of the notebook. This happens by removing 10 Torx-headed screws and prying the panel with a plastic tool. All-in-all the disassembly process is easy, however,[...]
