    Take it to an expert - do not try this unless you have the exact required tools and know how. Laptops are not the same as pc.

    I used to strip dozens a week, it's something a five year old could do, but you need to be a brain surgeon to get it back together : -

    - in one piece
    - with nothing [ especially plastic bits ] broken
    - in working order
    - and without a saucer full of bit's left over when you've finished !!

    Your cheapest option, pay someone competent my friend.
