    • Working on your device while it’s turned on is potentially dangerous and can result in electrical shock. Please make sure your device is completely turned off before you begin disassembling it.

    • Flip the device over so the screen is face down.

    • Make sure the stand is flipped down for the easiest way to work with the device.

    • Make sure that you put the screen on a clean surface to avoid scratching it.

    • Use the plastic opening tool to separate the silver back cover from the screen body.

    • As shown in picture two, use the tool around the stand as well to avoid cracking the cover.

    • As with the bottom cover, removing the top cover requires some force. Using the plastic opening tool to get as much separation as possible will make your job easier in the long run.

    • Slowly apply pressure to the outsides of the cover until it pops out of place.

    • Carefully lift the cover away from the computer and untangle it from the stand.

    • When putting the back cover back on, make sure you put the bottom of the cover on first so that the plastic cover sits tightly underneath the bottom of the stand case. Then make sure all the plastic tabs are fully pushed in.

    • Make sure that the power button is aligned when you put the back cover on.
