How to Dismantle an Asus A6000
- 1). Turn the laptop over bottom-side up and slide the locking switch over and pull the battery out.
- 2). Unfasten all the tiny screws from the bottom of the laptop using a precision screwdriver. Place them in a small container to keep track of them.
- 3). Turn the computer over again so that the back plate faces you. Remove the screws from the back side of the laptop.
- 4). Place the computer so the front faces you and open the screen. Insert the smallest precision flat blade in the pin hole on the left side of the plate and slide the panel to the left.
- 5). Lift the top edges of the keyboard until you can see the data cable.
- 6). Raise the securing tab of the data cable connector on the motherboard slightly and tug the cable free. Set the keyboard aside.
