    Opening the DeviceUndo the 9 Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel. Note that the screws in the top two corners are captive and will lift the panel up slightly.

Fully pry the rear and front to remove the bottom panel.More info: Here's how the bottom plate looks on the inside.Battery RemovalDetach the battery connector from the mainboard.
