3.2.
Open the main case
Now we are ready to open the main case. Apart from the 4 screws, there are also some plastic clips that keep everything in place. Be careful while open the main case, because the slight clips might easily break apart.
The picture below shows three of the plastic clips, that additionally fix the case.

3.3.
Take off the mainboard
After releasing the complete back cover, its time to take the mainboard out of its case. Again some care should be taken at this step. Lift the mainboard at the position of the battery connector and point out the display connector underneath. Use the plastic shim to release the display connector from the mainboard carefully. Afterwards the mainboard could be taken out. Its a bit tricky though, because the headphone connector prevents an ease remove.

Bottom of the mainboard
Now we got the bare mainboard. You may do a little discovery tour at this step and you will notice the display connector at the bottom of the PCB.
The pink film is the backlight foil and covers the smooth switches of the keyboard.

Open display unit
This is a view of the display unit already opened. All in all there are 8 plastic clips to fix the display unit very tight.
To completely remove the display some additional steps are necessary. All electronic parts off the display unit are contacted with a flexible printed board and partly glued with some double-faced tape. These parts are very sensitive. Please keep this in mind!
