Disassembling a Computer
Disassembling a computer is a straightforward task. In most cases, you only need to remove the outer cover of the case to gain access to the RAM, expansions cards, drive bays, and the CPU. This usually requires the loosening of four or six screws at the back of the computer case. However, not all covers are the same. Some have removable side panels and some have motherboard trays that slide out the rear end of the computer to provide better access to the components. The user manual that came with the computer is a useful tool when it comes to finding out how remove the cover. You should also remove the power cables that are attached to the back of the computer. The extent to which you have to disassemble a computer depends on the specific upgrade or repair.
