    • Open the main lid as far as it will go.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry off the hinge on the right side by pushing it to the left and off the hook.

    • Open the lid further.

    Better use the pliers (Spitzzange like this). One tip into the hole the other onto the plastic hook, then turn the pliers anticlockwise - and open it is, without any damage :-)

    The trick is shown here: https://youtu.be/-PwJhT1_uAw?t=180

    • Use a T9 torx screwdriver to remove a total of ten (10) 12mm screws from the main cover by turning the screwdriver counterclockwise.

    • The two screws above the screen assembly are deep so you may need a long screwdriver.

    T10 torx works fine.

    If you have iFixit repair kit, for the two deep screws above the screen assembly you can reach them with:

    - the T9 torx bit

    - on the 4.0 hexagonal bit

    - on the screwdriver
