    • Remove the grey scuff guard at the bottom of the PC by pressing down on it, and pulling it away.

    • Lift the hinge and remove the grey rubber tabs on either side of the PC’s model information.

    • Remove the two 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws beneath the rubber tabs under the hinge and the four 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws where the scuff guard was removed.

    • Remove the two 4.74mm Phillips #1 screws under the hinge (near the hinge joints) and a 4.74mm Phillips #1 screw under the handle.

    • Use 1-2 plastic opening tools or nylon spudgers to firmly pry open the back panel.

    • We recommend that you start prying the panel where the scuff guard was removed.

    • Prying the back panel will cause loud popping noises. This is just the sound of the clips that hold the back panel to the PC popping off.

    • Using excess force while prying can break the clips that hold the back panel and can damage the ports on the side of the PC.
