You do not need to remove the screen to remove the motherboard.

Is there anyway to add an extra ssd ?

Damn MSI... I was about to buy this laptop, but they removed the 2nd NVMe on this revision. @MFLAB on previous video ua-cam.com/video/-ooMzRY4rbs/v-deo.html shows that the motherboard for A12 have 2 NVMe. For this A13 only have 1 slot. I was about to compromise not have RJ45 connector (Ethernet), but not having 2nd SSD for a creator laptop is a deal breaker.

They have faulty paper thin screens, dont bother.
