Use this guide to replace the front case on your Galaxy Book Pro 360 15" laptop.
The front case consists of the keyboard and touchpad pre-installed into the frame. Make sure you have the right part before you begin the repair.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Note: Some photos show the heat sink and primary SSD removed. This is optional, as you don't need to remove the heat sink or the primary SSD to remove the motherboard.
