After removing the bottom cover, we can access the motherboard, battery, fan, heat sink, wireless network card, SSD, speakers, CMOS battery, and more.

Remove the nine screws that secure the battery, and then disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. Lift the battery from the right side to remove it.

The internal circuit board of the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite consists of two parts: the main board and a small circuit board on the left side. They are connected by a cable marked “Sub” and “Main,” so it is impossible to connect them incorrectly.

Remove this yellow ribbon cable to access the 128GB mSATA SSD. Then, remove the screws securing the SSD, and it will pop out automatically. Apply a slight force to pull it out of the slot.

The internal design of the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite is very simple. After removing the battery and cable, you can start removing the motherboard.

This wireless card is directly welded to the motherboard to make the body thinner and lighter.

This laptop has a very high degree of integration. The CPU uses BGA packaging and is equipped with a thin cooling system, which further reduces the thickness of the laptop through a special process.

This laptop does not have memory slots. Eight 4GB DDR3-1333 memory modules are soldered to the motherboard.
