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
