The palmrest assembly is secured in the bottom case assembly by four 
snaps and tabs on the right and left ends of the palmrest. Take care not to 
damage the snaps when removing the palmrest.

the palmrest fits on the 
outside of the system board assembly, near the paral-
lel port connector. Also, check that the microphone boot is properly located in 
its slot on the top EMI shield and is fitted within the palmrest assembly.
