Before starting this repair, we recommend discharging your battery to 25% to help make it easier to dispose as e-waste.

Note: the laptop used in this guide is a generic setup of one US keyboard, one numpad module, and two touchpad spacers. Your setup might vary, but the procedure should remain the same.
