    • Using the plastic opening tools, insert one opening tool into the gap between the screen casing and the motherboard casing. Then insert the other tool into one of the adjacent sides and slide it around the top.

    • There are 14 latches that need to be undone.

    • The latches break easily during the opening process so we recommend purchasing a new screen casing if they break.

    • Use the plastic opening tools on both sides of the battery to carefully pry it off of the frame.

    • The battery attaches to the frame with double-sided tape so this should be fairly easy to remove.

Most difficult part was opening the case, seemed to work best with the opening tool ends pointed down (screen up), levered the latches best.

Reassembling, the larger of the two connections that attach the screen to the motherboard case was fiddly to line up, it requires a bit of care and patience.

Thanks for these instructions.

Danke, Oriana Hone (und 3 anderen Mitwirkenden), gute Anleitung.

Und ja, wie vorgewarnt, 4 der Plastik-Verriegelungen brachen leicht während des Öffnungsvorgangs. Jetzt muss ich wohl ein neues Bildschirmgehäuse finden... Oder genügen die verbleibenden 10?

Thanks, Oriana Hone (and 3 other contributors), good guide. Used it for GO 5000.

And yes, as forewarned, 4 of the plastic latches broke easily during the opening process. Now I guess I'll have to find a new screen casing... Or will the remaining suffice?

tip top - alles bestens erklärt. Geduld haben, vorsichtig sein,

Ich hatte den neuen Akku zusammen mit einem Set Spezialwerkzeug online bestellt; damit ging es wirklich super.
