1. Remove the bottom plate

If you haven’t figured it out yet, we were talking about the DVD optical drive. There are a couple of screws you need to undo before you pull it away from the chassis. Then just continue with unscrewing everything you see, and you are free to pry the bottom plate up.

2. Battery and storage

Most of the bottom side of the body is taken by the battery and the storage devices. Fist, you would want to unplug the battery, so you don’t accidentally damage something while disassembling. After that, remove all four Phillips-head screws, located at the edges of the 42Wh battery. On both sides of the battery, you can see the storage options – a SATA slot on the left and an M.2 PCIe slot on the right.
