Introduction
This guide is intended for the Puget V752i/V552i, but also applies to the Sager NP6350/NP6370 and the Clevo/Pro-Star W350ETQ/W370ET. While the 15" and 17" models are obviously different, beyond the screen size and physical size of the units the differences are almost all cosmetic. So while the images used in this guide may not exactly match your laptop if you have a 15" laptop, they should be very, very close.
If you have a laptop purchased from Puget Systems, we highly recommend contacting our support department prior to replacing any components.
