I need a tip for disassembling my laptop case?
I want to completely dedust my old Vaio laptop (VPCF24M1E). However, I don't get the case completely removed.
Please be careful, did you also remove all screws? If so, take something to pry open, preferably something rubbery.
You also have to remove the keyboard beforehand, there are also screws that hold the housing.
Yes, I removed all screws and kept them safe.
I got a plastic card to pry
Then slowly lift the case, it has so-called clips which hold the case together.
The beginning was relatively easy to solve until it was no longer possible. I tried to make something smart on YouTube but unfortunately this model was not represented.
See if you also have screws in the keyboard area.
I can't loosen any screws from the keyboard / there are none from this side.
I'm trying to do that, but as I said, it stops with the USB ports. I also tried in vain to push / pull it in all directions, gently it goes without saying.
Certainly, if you removed everything, something jammed or you really forgot one screw.
Unfortunately, no
So we can leave out the screws 100%. I removed all of them. EXCEPT there are screws that have a cover which I doubt.
Hm, did you try to pry it up slightly?
Unfortunately, the keyboard is not separate. It is part of the upper half of the housing
Look, I can't help you any further from here, Sry.
I'm 80% sure that it is precisely because of these clips. But how can I get these two solved? ^^ I still thank you very much for your advice and emotional support ♥ ️
The way to disassemble a laptop is different for every model. It may be that if you have all the screws outside, you have to lift the keyboard and the stuff around (touchpad, speakers, etc.) and then unscrew the mainboard. (Always watch out for cables carefully) Or just open the rear flap and have everything there.
I can recommend channels on yt that also deal with something like this:
I tried to push and pull levers everywhere ^^. It's like a puzzle box😂
I took out all the parts that were possible to solve…
