    There are tiny numbers showing the lengths of the screws. 1-2-3-4 where 1 is the shortest.

    The dark red circles are not very easy to see. How about white ones?

Get the HMM for the laptop! On a few of these, I have had to just pull out the internal wi-fi card, and use a USB wi-fi adapter.

The only screws that need to be removed are the ones that are numbered 1-4 on the bottom of the case. Best to remove the screws with #4 next to them, then remove the keyboard and then remove 1-3 and then the palm rest. Removing the ones on the rear is unnecessary.
