Remove the 8 captive Phillips-head screws from the laptop's bottom. These screws will stay attached to the bottom panel, minimizing the risk of loss. Pry the bottom plate off with a thin plastic tool, starting from the back of the notebook. Avoid prying from the front; tilt the panel until you hear a slight click, indicating it's safe to lift the plate away from the chassis.Hint: Be gentle during this proc[...]

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
