Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Opening the Device Hint: Ensure the laptop is powered off and disconnected from any power source before starting.Undo the seven captive Phillips-head screws on the bottom panel of the laptop. Eject the SIM card tray. Use a lever tool to pry the two small areas located behind the laptop’s hinges.

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.
