This was one heck of a difficult feat, thank you for documenting the process. It took me about one hour to disassemble and two hours to re-assemble.
Excellent guide - many thanks for writing this. It took me about 3 hours in total as well but it’s all done now. Worst part was the 50 tiny screws holding the keyboard in place!
Hey, I did this and have some serious Wi-Fi connection issues now…Ethernet and Wi-Fi are both listed as non-operational although sometimes a network will appear in my available networks to connect to. Any idea what might have gone wrong? I took out the LAN card and reinserted it, no dice.
You got the cables connected to the wrong little circle post on the wifi card. Swap them and it should work! happened to me drove me mad until I tried it.
I do have issues that seem to be the CMOS Battery.
I couldn't see that in your disassembly instructions.
I am looking everywhere for this little issue and I can not find instructions for the CMOS replacement.
Could you enlight a little where to get this information?
