Hard

Requirements:

A soft surface
– For example, you can use a towel

A small container to keep the screws
– Make sure not to lose the screws

C cover top case palm rest part
Screwdriver
Spudger (or a similar plastic tool)
Thermal paste with spatula
Metal cleaner
Moist wipes
Microfiber cleaning cloth

Place the laptop upside down on a soft surface.

This prevents scratches on the laptop lid.

Then remove all screws using the screwdriver.

Insert the spudger between the bottom case and the hinge.

Gently apply pressure on the hinge. Do this on both sides. You can now carefully remove the bottom case completely.

Temporarily disconnect the battery.

This is a safety measure to prevent short circuits.

It is highly recommended to perform this step.

Disconnect the heatsink cables.

Loosen the screws of the heatsink. The screws marked with numbers 1 and 2 should remain in place, while the other screws can be completely removed.

Carefully lift the heatsink on both sides. There might be some resistance due to the sticky thermal paste.

Use the micro screwdriver to press the keyboard release hole while holding the laptop on its side.

The keyboard will loosen at the top.

Use your fingers to further lift the keyboard out of the chassis while the laptop is back in its normal position.

One FFC cable is located where the keyboard was.

The other cables are located on the opposite side. Make sure to disconnect all cables.

Now loosen the screws of the motherboard and carefully remove the motherboard.

Remove the two screws from the power button daughterboard and disconnect the FFC cable. Also remove the power button daughterboard itself, along with its cable, and place it into the new C-cover palm rest part.

Repeat this step for the other components that are still attached to the old C-cover palm rest part, such as the speakers, CMOS battery, WiFi antennas (if necessary), front LED daughterboard, touchpad, USB-audio board, and battery.

Refer to the corresponding replacement instructions if needed.

Remove the hinge screws. Lift the hinges using the spudger. Do this on both sides (both hinges).

Make sure the display cable no longer touches the C-cover palm rest part.

Rotate the old C-cover palm rest part until you can detach it from the display section.

Place the new C-cover palm rest part in the same way as you removed the old one.

Reposition the display cable correctly.

Push the hinges back down and screw them tight again.

Place the new motherboard while making sure all cables remain visible.

You can use the spudger to easily grab cables if they are underneath the motherboard.

Now reconnect all cables to the motherboard. Don’t forget there is still an FFC cable on the other side.

Apply some thermal paste to the spatula.

Spread it evenly over the CPU (and NVIDIA GPU, if present).

Make sure you can no longer see the mirror-like reflection of the CPU (and NVIDIA GPU, if present).

Carefully place the heatsink back in its original position.

Make sure not to move the heatsink once it has been placed.

Tighten the heatsink screws and reconnect the heatsink cables.

Make sure to place a soft material on the palm rest to prevent scratches.

Place the keyboard upside down on this soft material so that you can easily connect the keyboard cables to the motherboard.

Place the keyboard in the correct position.

Ensure that the bottom side slides into place first.

Firmly press the keyboard on all sides.

Place the bottom cover back in the correct position.

Gently press down the bottom cover on all sides.

Make sure the bottom cover fits snugly all around.

Use the screwdriver to put the screws back in place.

This was the final step. Your laptop is ready for use again.

Well done!
