Alright! So you have everything you need. Now we start to have some real fun...

The next step is to disassemble your laptop!

*** If you have a newer laptop you may not want to void your warranty by dismantling it! ***
(Especially those of you who bought the 'extened warranty' **chuckle**)

Helpful Tips
- Get the service manual for your laptop model from the manufacturers’ website
- Keep small pieces together with tape and labels (see image 3)
- GENTLY unscrew items (stripping a screw SUCKS! you don’t want to drill it out)
- Use an anti-static strap and proper anti-static techniques when handling electrical components!
