    • Use the screwdriver to remove the thirteen, 7 mm Phillips#1 screws from the bottom of the chassis.

    • Insert a spudger at the center and into the crevice between the bottom casing and the keyboard and pry upwards.

    • Gently slide the spudger along the entire perimeter of the device and pry the casing loose to unhook 6 clips.

    • These images show a metal spudger, which has the potential to damage the device. Use a plastic opening tool or standard spudger instead.

    • Do not be alarmed if you feel a gentle tug or hear a click as you slide your spudger. These sounds are the clips detaching from the casing.
