Step 1

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the following ten screws securing the back cover to the frame:
Six 12.8 mm PH1 screws
Four 4.6 mm PH1 screws

Step 2

Insert the rounded edge of an opening pick between the back cover and the frame in the lower right corner.
Angle the pick to about 45˚.

Step 3

Slide the pick along the front edge to release the clips securing the back cover to the frame.

Step 4

Insert the edge of an opening pick between the back cover and the frame on the right edge.
Angle the pick to about 30˚ and slide down the left edge to release the clips.

Step 5

Repeat the same procedure on the left edge to release the clips.

Step 6

Slide the opening pick between the frame and the plastic vents on the right side near the USB-A port.
Rotate the pick so that it is positioned on top of the plastic vents.
If the pick is difficult to insert, position the laptop vertically to reduce the weight on the back cover.

Step 7

Push the pick between the frame and plastic vents.
Slide the pick along the top edge of the plastic vents to release the clips.

Step 8

Slide the opening pick between the frame and the plastic vents on the left side near the USB-C port.
Rotate the pick so that it is positioned on top of the plastic vents.
Push the pick between the frame and plastic vents.
Slide the pick along the top edge of the plastic vents to release the clips.

Step 9

Lift the back cover up and remove it from the chassis.
During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down before you continue working.

Many Thanks !
