Step 3 should be removing the battery. There are 4 screws to do this.

is it true these boards have a problem and stop functioning? I bought it at Costco 2-3 years ago. My computer won't power on and my local tec shop thinks this is the problem. I like it bc is light and small and since I paid $1100 for it I think I should get a little more life out of it, right? I just bought a new battery too. thanks.
