Dear all
When I was separating the bottom cover on my laptop with a plastic plectrum.
Without any problems I separated / loosened the bottom cover on the left side and right side, and most of the front side.
It wouldn’t let go at the front, in front of the mousepad – I was missing to unscrew the only screw at the front.
I was pulling the southwest corner on the bottom cover, close to where the battery is located, I was pulling away from the laptop. I noticed, that the southwest corner on the TOP cover, where the battery is placed, was bending a couple of millimeters.
The southwest corner on the BOTTOM cover was bending a couple of centimeters.
The southwest corner on the TOP cover was bending a couple of millimeters.
After a couple of pulls, the plastic part that held the screw broke off.
After the bottom cover broke of, I was very concerned if I had damaged any of the hardware parts.
I was looking thoroughly on all the hardware parts with a lamp, and no bent or damage was anywhere to be seen.
I removed the network card that has integrated Bluetooth – that was the reason I removed the bottom cover.
It was no problem to put the bottom cover back on again.
When using the laptop afterwards, alle functions was functioning correct.
1.
Is there any noticeable bent or damage on the hardware, on the photos (see photos below)?
2.
When looking thoroughly on the hardware parts, what should I look for regarding if bent og damaged?
3.
How much can the hardware parts with printed circuit boards bend, before taking damage?
4.
How much can the battery bend, before taking damage?
Thank you
