Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Back Panel
- Locate the rubber feet at every corner of the laptop back panel. Use the ifixit prying tool, and break the adhesive between the rubber feet, and the case.
- Screws securing the back panel underneath the adhesive will be exposed.
- Removing the rubber feet will weaken the adhesive making reassembly difficult. Apply new adhesive if you choose to place the rubber feet back on to the device.
