日本How to open MSI Thin GF63 (12Vx) – disassembly and upgrade options
Step 1: Accessing the Internal Components
- Ensure the MSI Thin GF63 (12Vx) is powered off and placed on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches or damage.
- Remove the 12 Phillips-head screws from the bottom of the laptop.
- Begin the prying process from the front of the device, carefully working your way around, and leave the back side for the end.
- Flip the laptop to pop up the small cap behind the lid, then use a plastic tool to pry the last section.
Hint: Proceed with caution to avoid damaging the internal clips or the laptop casing.
Step 2: Removing the Battery
- Attempt to gently unglue the 52.4Wh battery starting from its left side due to the extra sticky double-sided tape used by MSI.
- Be extremely careful around the touchpad area to avoid any potential damage while ungluing the battery.
- Once loosened, carefully disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.
Caution: The battery is glued to the chassis, making removal challenging. Proceed gently to avoid damaging the battery or nearby components.
More info: The 52.4Wh battery provides up to 6 hours and 40 minutes of web browsing or 6 hours and 15 minutes of video playback, a satisfactory performance for its capacity.
Memory Upgrade
- Locate the two SODIMM slots for memory upgrades, allowing up to 64GB of DDR4-3200MHz memory in dual-channel.
- Upgrading the memory can significantly enhance the laptop’s multitasking capabilities and overall performance.
