    • Remove the picks.

    • Pull the cover and the main body of the laptop apart.

    • If you find a lot of resistance while trying to pull the bottom cover off, close the screen because the hinges often "hold" the bottom cover. If you still find a lot resistance, check for any forgotten screws. Don't apply too much force if you are having difficulty.

    • After prying the bottom cover off, the bottom of the laptop should look like that.
