<p><img title="Fujitsu Lifebook P7230" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="96" alt="Fujitsu Lifebook P7230" src="http://mycapsules.com/sites/default/files/2009/03/p7230/avatar-120x96.png" width="120" align="right" border="0" />Today I will show step-by-step of how to take Fujitsu Lifebook P7230 out. I have no idea why I have a lot of Fujitsu system, but I can say that it's quite a good notebook. Although P7230 uses a bit different step from its predecessor, taking keyboard out is the first step of everything in most notebook. Thus, you will find much easier when trying to upgrade anything else. What surprise me most is you don't have to have even a screw driver to complete this job since Fujitsu decided to use a sticky tape + plastic lock mechanism to stabilize keyboard instead of any screw and it gets the job done nicely. (although the whole machine has a lot of flex, keyboard is not.</p>

<p>Here are the rest of the show :-P If you want to take apart the rest, what you have to do is just unscrewing them and tearing apart carefully. It's possible to upgrade WLAN to 802.11n or swap Core 2 Duo ULV in. That's going to be such a boost to the system.</p>
