Step 2

              Unclip the lower case
  • Using plastic tools, you can start unclipping the back from the body. Insert one opening tool and insert a second. Slide the tools around to pop off the bottom of the laptop.
  • Do not insert your tool too deeply, to avoid snagging a clip.
  • Do not unclip the back face fully; only the front and the two sides. You can nevertheless detach the 4 corners.
  • Photo 3 shows the location of the clips to dislocate in green. In red, these are the “hinges” of the hood (see next step)
