Disassembly - Step II


The second step is a lot simpler, but before we move on any further, we'll need you to focus your attention to the circled areas first. These are the areas on the plastic housing where the metal piece latches on to secure the main body to the plastic housing.


With the help of both your thumbs, press and slide the metal piece downwards to complete detaching the main body from the housing. You can tell by comparing the position of the metal tooth (in the rectangular box) of this picture to the one shown above.


With the two steps completed (the easy part), the main body is now unlatched from the plastic housing and a gentle push from your thumb is all you need to free the main body from the housing.


The main body (on the right) contains the circuit board, the one-inch hard drive, LCD and touchpad. This entire piece is composed of a few components assembled together.


Here's a look at the main body in another angle. The black little nub you see is the on-board microphone.


Do pay extra attention to these microconnectors (highlighted by the red square boxes) as they are extremely prone to breakages if caution is not exercised.
