The N4010 is definitely a beautiful-looking set, but it’s sure a tough nut to crack when it’s time to repair something inside it, lol :-D
A bunch of screws not listed have to be removed also they are in proximity of the cmos battery I imagine someone will damage their machine following this NOT GOOD! I signed up just to post this! Look for screws with the LETTER B they need removing before the board can come out! ifixit should screen their submissions better
In step 20 we remove the screws
I have the blue top/black bottom/silver keyboard-bezel N4010…. it’s defintely beautiful to my eyes, both in cabinet design and bright and clear picture on the display. Changing the 500 gig hard drive is exactly what I need to do to it. Thanks for sharing this tutorial, Jonathan Sellier. I was wondering what kind of connectors the HD had, and I see from the last photo that you posted in the series above that it’s a SATA connection. Now I know what to order for a replacement. Thanks again. :-)
This was a fantastic guide and I can't thank you enough. One thing to note when reassembling is to make sure the daughterboard connector is fully seated before putting all of those screws back in. I found this one out the hard way because I wasn't paying enough attention to what I was doing.
