Flip the laptop and use a thin plastic tool to pop the zones around the plastic shrouds of the four vents on the sides and back. Insert the plastic tool between the base and the bottom panel, lift up until you hear a pop sound, and repeat this process for all sides. Pry the middle of the rear, turn over the device, slightly raise the back of the panel, pry the mid and front sections of the pla[...]
