Undo the 5 captive Phillips-head screws on the back of the laptop. These screws will remain attached to the bottom panel, preventing loss. Use a plastic tool to pry the bottom panel off, starting from the top corners and working your way towards the back, then lift the panel by holding it at the zones behind the hinges.Hint: Approach the prying process gently to avoid damaging the clips or the laptop casing.Step 2[...]
