1. First, turn off the laptop through the system tools and disconnect the power adapter.



2. Remove the battery before turning the laptop.

   

   In this case, the battery does not differ from similar components on other devices.



3. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws around the perimeter of the panel on the bottom surface.

   

   Do not attempt to fully remove the screws before removing the panel.



4. On visible portions of the motherboard, remove the RAM bar. To do this, clamp small metal latches in the opposite direction from RAM.



5. Further, you should unscrew the hard disk mounts and pull it out. Do not forget to save the screws so that in the case of the HDD assembly was securely fixed.



6. Packard Bell laptops allow you to install two hard drive at once. Remove the second medium from the opposite side if it is installed.



7. In the area closer to the battery compartment, find and remove the built-in Wi-Fi adapter.

The final stage of disassembly, as you could notice, is to extract the motherboard. This is especially true if you need to gain access to the CPU and the cooling system. In addition, without this, you will not be able to disable the built-in power adapter or the screen.

1. To remove the maternity, disconnect the latest available loop from the board with sound connectors and additional USB ports.



2. Inspect your motherboard and delete all restraining screws.
