Byte Mk II - Complete Disassembly Guide

Follow this step-by-step guide to safely disassemble your Byte.

You will need a Phillips PH0 screwdriver before starting.

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Place the Byte on a soft, protected surface to prevent scratches or damage to the anodised finish.

2. Remove the Backplate Screws

Turn the Byte over so the bottom faces upward.
Remove the four long Phillips screws, one from each corner of the backplate.

3. Remove the Backplate

Gently press around the DisplayPort/HDMI area to release the PCBA from the chassis, then carefully lift off the backplate.

4. Lift the PCBA

Press down on the silver clamp attached to the DisplayPort and gently lift the PCBA just enough to access the components underneath.

⚠️ Do not remove the PCBA completely.
The antennas are soldered to the side of the chassis — pulling it away fully may cause damage.

5. Remove the SSD

Unscrew the SSD mounting screw and slide the SSD out of its slot.

6. Disconnect the Wireless Antennas

Carefully lift the wireless antenna connectors from the wireless card.

💡 Tip: Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently lift the connectors if needed.

7. Remove the Wireless Card

Unscrew the single screw securing the wireless card, then slide it out at a slight angle.

8. Remove the Memory Module

Push the silver clips on each side of the memory module down and outward to release it, then slide it out gently.

9. Disassembly Complete

Your Byte is now fully disassembled.
