    • Power down the Poin2 Chromebook 11 and disconnect the power adapter.

    • Close the Chromebook and position it with the base facing up.

    • Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the ten 7mm screws that hold the base to the rest of the frame

    • Poin2 Chromebook 11 does not have screws under its rubber feet at the base.

    Rubber feet at the base DO have screws. I broke mine not knowing this.

    • Insert a 1cm-wide plastic opening tool between the base and top frame.

    • Applying pressure up and down with the tool may be necessary. When you hear a "click," this indicates the separation of the frame.

    • Pry (up and down) around the entire border of the Chromebook to separate.

    • Use your hands to gently lift the base away from the frame.
