Step 2
- Use 1-2 plastic opening tools or nylon spudgers to firmly pry open the back panel.
- We recommend that you start prying the panel where the scuff guard was removed.
- Prying the back panel will cause loud popping noises. This is just the sound of the clips that hold the back panel to the PC popping off.
- Using excess force while prying can break the clips that hold the back panel and can damage the ports on the side of the PC.
