Steps
1. Loosen the eight captive screws that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
2. Using a plastic scribe, pry open the base cover starting from the recesses, which are located in the U-shaped indents at the
top edge of the base cover, near the hinges.
CAUTION: Do not slide the scribe through the edge of the top side of the base cover as it damages the
latches inside the base cover.
CAUTION: Do not pry upwards from the edge near the vents, at the top side of the base cover, as it damages
the base cover.
