    • Slide the case toward the ports on the back, then grip under the catch and pull up while moving toward the ports to remove.

    This step is wrong. The ports cover should be removed with a plastic disassembly tool first. Failure to do this will lead to a set of broken plastic hooks.

    • Grab the back of the power supply and pull out while lifting up so that it will clear the other components.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
