Introduction

Before you begin, refer to the Samsung PC Repair Guide for safety information.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Step 1

              Access the rubber feet               

• Before you begin, shut down your laptop and unplug it.
• Close the screen and lay your laptop down with the rear case facing up to access the four rubber feet.
