Remove the bottom plate Sadly, but the removal of the bottom plate isn't an easy job. Especially if you don't want to cause any visible damage to the notebook's body. First of all, you have to undo 8 Phillips-head screws. Unluckily, the inside clips of the bottom panel are extremely stiff and the bottom pla[...]
