1.Turn off the computer; then disconnect the ac power adapter and all cables from the computer. Wait three to five minutes to let the computer cool.
2.Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
3.Remove the battery. See “Replacing the battery” on page 71.
4.Remove the keyboard. See “Replacing the keyboard” on page 78.
5.If a tool for removing connectors is included in the package with the new card, use it to disconnect the cables from the card. If no such tool is included, disconnect the cables by picking up the connectors with your fingers and gently unplugging them.
