Cosa ti serve
-
-
Use the plastic opening tool to pry off the black plastic strip at the bottom of the screen by wiggling the tool between the strip and the screen.
-
Run the opening tool slowly along the base of the screen, peeling the black strip back, until the opposite end of the screen is reached.
-
-
-
Place the computer on its back, facing up.
-
Wedge the plastic opening tool in between the screen and the bezel of the aluminum computer casing.
-
Move the tool along the entire edge of the screen with an up-and-down prying motion to loosen the screen from the casing. Do not lift the entire screen away from the computer yet.
-
-
-
Lift the screen from the bottom edge by about 6 inches. Prop it open with one hand.
-
Look inside the computer and locate five (5) cables that connect the embedded components of the screen (camera, microphone, etc.) to the rest of the computer.
Same here my model just had 4 cables.
-
-
-
-
Use a finger to lift the plastic locking flaps that hold the remaining three (3) ribbon cables in place.
-
Remove the cables from their terminals by slipping them away from their connectors.
When re-connecting take great care to ensure the ribbon cables are square and flat - I had to take mine apart again to re-seat one as the screen was blank - worked fine once re-seated properly.
-
-
-
Locate the WLAN card in the upper left hand corner of the computer.
-
Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the 3.2 mm screw on the top of the WLAN card.
-
-
-
Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the three (3) 4.8 mm screws from the fan unit.
-
Remove the cable connecting the fan to the motherboard by pulling the cable out of its socket.
-
-
-
Remove the six (6) ribbon cables by lifting up on the plastic locking tabs and then slipping the cables out of their sockets.
-
Remove the other two (2) cables by pulling straight out on the white connectors.

I have been trying and failing to reset the BIOS completely as for some reason i have misslayed the password i set when i first purchsed it, i cannot boot to the OS without it. i have already tried removing the battery and leaving over night to try and reset but that has also failed. is there anyway i can remove the password? or how the locate the cmos jumpers which for the life of me i cannot find.
MY piece of crap Z240IC decided not to start yesterday. Beyond 1 year warranty (barely), and can’t find a replacement working motherboard to swap with. The power supply (cord) went out 6 months ago. I believe when this happened, something may have damaged one of the circuits, as the machine has slowly shown issues of failing parts. I can’t believe I spent so much on this “iMac Killer” and yet it never lived up to it’s proclaimed reputation, nor is it built to last. It looks like we’re all pretty screwed here.
David Mills you can buy one at http://www.buy-motherboard.co.uk/laptop-....
In the step 14 (2º image), near the SATA connector, is that a slot for NVME SSD? because I saw a slot for M Key
Can anyone help?
I purchased a replacement motherboard which is the same revision as mine v 1.4 and have installed this according to the procedure shown in this guide. The motherboard powers on, the fan spins as it should but there is no display showing. I have tried reinstalling the RAM and re-booting but no luck . The display still does not show.
Does you have any suggestions? I am at a loss at the moment.
On my machine, it was positively impossible to use a plastic opening tool, or even a razor to get under the plastic strip - even after heating up with a heat gun. However, I found another method that will also help prevent damage to the plastic strip: in pictures for Steps 2 and 3, you can see that under the plastic strip, next to some of the screws there are square holes in the plastic body. I was able to shape a sturdy paper clip into an “L” shape, and feed it through the right-most exhaust vent at the bottom to insert into this square hole from below. From there, you can use the paper clip to try to push the plastic strip up from below. It still required some heat from the heat gun, but eventually I was able to push the plastic strip up enough to be able to slip a razor blade under it.

I too was unable to do this with the plastic tools, but used a small flat screwdriver to ply up the corned on the bottom curved corner and plastic tools form there - just left a small blemish on the plastic besel, but I can live with that.
