Step 6

• Remove the exposed screw that was covered by the power button panel.
• Do not try and torque the screw from an angle. This will ruin the screw’s head, and make it even more difficult to remove the screw. Only remove it as already described.
• This screw is placed awkwardly. We found holding a T9 bit in a pair of needle nose pliers gave us enough leverage to pull it up.
