Perché non posso passare direttamente dallo step 2 allo step 11 ?

Keyman -

Same(ish) question as Keyman: why not steps 1, possibly 3, then 11? Why disconnect everything if the SSD is fully exposed when the bottom comes off?

ifaxit -

Basta infatti scollegare la batteria per evitare eventuali ritorni di massa prima di sostituire l'ssd

IRREAL -

he thought that was ram and drilled further to find the ssd perhaps.
