Locate the battery on the bottom of your laptop.

Step 2

Slide the tab all the way over to the left until battery pops out. Lift out and remove battery.

Step 3

Remove the RAM port cover by unscrewing the two screws.
These screws can not be fully removed because they’re captive. Loosen them until they turn freely.

come si fà a pulire o stappare le canaline in rame di raffreddamento del processore?

Giorgio D'Ulizia - 24/06/17

To clean, use cotton or cotton swabs with isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to let it fully dry before putting back together.

Google translate English to Italian: Per pulire, utilizzare cotton o cotton fioc con alcol isopropilico. Assicurati di lasciarlo asciugare completamente prima di rimontarlo.
