  2. Keyboard cable to be disconnected the same way

Once these connectors are undone, the top can be removed:

  2. Location of the wifi card and its associated screw (in grey): before disconnecting it, note the side of the black cable, this will avoid getting the color codes wrong when reassembling. To disconnect the wifi card, we gently pull the wires, remove the screw and we can recover our wifi card.
  3. Location of the bios stack which has the particularity of being welded
  4. LCD connection location to be removed
  5. Location of the fan connector to be removed (in red)
