Overview : HP G60 laptops board is attached to the bottom of the case. ie In order to reach the

board, the keyboard cover and keyboard should be removed first. The keyboard is secured

with screws from the battery bay. After keyboard removal, the front cover should be removed where you can get full access to the motherboard. The power jack of HP G60 laptop is not soldered to the motherboard. Its connected to the motherboard via cable, which I like a lot.

1. Keep the HP G60 laptop upside down. Remove all the screws as circled in the picture. The green circleds screws are attached to the keyboard cover.
