Remove the 3mm screws (8) from the motherboard using a #0 Phillips head screwdriver.

Carefully and slowly lift the motherboard out of the base of the laptop.

In the picture shown, the hard drive has already been removed, although, it is not necessary to remove the hard drive in order to remove the motherboard. Simply disconnect the two ZIF connectors from the hard drive that are labeled "IO" as shown in the picture and leave the hard drive in place.
