    • The rubber feet cover a total of five back cover screws.

    • Use an opening pick to peel up an end of the front rubber foot until you can grip it with your fingers.

    • Make sure both the foot and its adhesive peel up together, as they need to be removed as one piece.

    • Note that the rubber feet are different:

    • The front foot is thicker, with a deeper recess.

    • The rear foot is thinner, with a shallower recess.

    • During reassembly:

    • If you're reusing the rubber feet, the leftover adhesive should be tacky enough to reuse.

    • If the leftover adhesive isn't sticky enough or your replacement feet didn't come with adhesive, you can use double-sided tape such as Tesa Tape to secure the feet.

    • Make sure the strips of tape aren't wider than 6 mm, otherwise they may not fit.

    • To install a foot, remove its adhesive liner, lay the foot into its matching recess, and press down firmly along the entire length of the foot to secure it.

Conclusion

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