Easy

Requirements:

A soft underground
– You could use a towel
A container to put the screws in
– Make sure you don’t lose the screws
CMOS battery
Screwdriver
Spudger (or a similar plastic tool)

Put the laptop upside down on a soft underground.

This is needed to prevent scratches on the laptop’s screen lid. Then, remove all the screws with the screwdriver.

Take the spudger and put it between the bottom case and the hinge.

Gently apply pressure to the hinge. Do this on both sides. You can then carefully remove the bottom case entirely.

Disconnect the main battery, marked with a big circle on the picture. In case a second SSD is installed between the speaker and the battery, you will need to remove it temporarily* before you can replace the CMOS battery, which is marked with a small red circle on the picture.

After that, the CMOS battery can be seen and replaced by disconnecting its cable from the motherboard and pulling the CMOS battery. The CMOS battery can be a bit sticky due to its adhesive strip underneath.

*SSD removal instructions
Skip this substep in case you can already see the CMOS battery entirely.

To remove the SSD, remove its screw. The module will pop out and can be taken out.

To reinstall the SSD, please make sure it is pushed correctly in its slot, but don’t use excessive force. Once it’s in, push the module down at the outside and install the belonging screw.

Important:
Please make sure that the thermal pads that are delivered with the laptop are placed at the indicated places. The thermal pads make sure that your SSD remains cool, even under heavy load.

It is vital to have them in place to ensure a long life time of your SSD storage drive.

Install the bottom case by placing it back in the right position.

Gently press the part on all sides.

Make sure that the bottom case fits snugly everywhere.

Use the screwdriver to install the screws back in place. In case of the V54 Series: play close attention to the two screws at the hinges: these are bigger than the other screws.

This was the final step, you are ready to use your laptop again.

Well done!



Replacement Instructions for NUC Box

5 min
Very easy

Requirements:

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

A small container for the screws
– Make sure you don’t lose any screws

Screwdriver

Place the NUC Box upside down on a soft surface.

This prevents scratches on the NUC Box.

Then remove all screws using the screwdriver.

Step 2: Remove the bottom of the case
Pick up the NUC Box and carefully turn it over.

Next, grip the top cover at all corners.

Lift it off the bottom part.

Step 3: Remove the motherboard
Unscrew the two black screws on both sides.

Remove the WiFi antennas from the WiFi module.

Carefully lift the motherboard up from both sides.

Step 4: Remove the fan from the motherboard
Place the motherboard on a soft surface with the fan facing upwards.

Remove the three screws and disconnect the two cables. Note: the two screws on the right side will not come completely out of the component.

Then carefully lift the fan off the motherboard.

Step 5: Replace the CMOS battery
Turn the fan over, as the CMOS battery is located here.

Turn the CMOS battery clockwise and gently pull it upwards.

Then attach the new CMOS battery in the same way as the previous one.

Place the fan in the correct position.

Tighten the screws.

Carefully reconnect the cables.

Insert the motherboard back at an angle and gently press it into the correct position. Make sure the WiFi antennas remain above the motherboard.

Reconnect the WiFi antennas to the WiFi module.

Screw the two black screws back into the motherboard.

Place the bottom of the NUC Box in the correct position.

Make sure the arrow labeled “front” is actually pointing towards the front.

You can check this by slightly lifting the NUC Box at the front.

Use the screwdriver to fasten the screws back into place. Note: do not overtighten the screws. This can make them difficult to remove in the future if needed.

The new bottom cover is now installed.

Well done!
