Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Opening the MSI Cyborg 14 A13V Hint: Ensure the laptop is completely powered off and unplugged before starting.Undo the eight Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel of the laptop. Turn over the device and use a thin plastic tool to carefully pry open the back panel step by step, releasing all internal clips. Flip the laptop back over and pop the front panel, as well as the left and right sides, up to the level of the audio jack, taking extra care as the jack slightly protrudes from the motherboard. Lift the bottom panel from the left side and carefully slide it to[...]
