    I have searched for a Disassembly guide for the Aero 14 because I'm looking to upgrade my memory, storage and possibly thermal paste but have struggled to find a guide. I tried doing it on my own but I am having trouble with getting the back panel off and being cautious so that I don't harm my laptop. Does anyone have a guide for this?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    If you've got all the screws off, I would use a suction cup and pry the bottom corner up. You don't have to be gentle, it's just a little tough to pry. From there you could pull the cover off.

    EDIT: Torx T5 screws for the back (I believe)

    EDIT2: T6, you're right. I just don't remember the numbers XD

    My 1050ti version used T6 screws but I'm not sure about the 1060. The back is hard to get off because it's clipped down, so if you have something to pry it, use that. I started around the SD card reader as I heard that was the easiest spot.
