Step 2

  • The snap seals don’t need a lot of pressure to open, and may break if forced. Be gentle with the opening tool.
  • Wedge the sharp edge of the plastic opening tool into the seam between the back panel and the rest of the laptop, then gently pry the panel up.
  • There will be a snapping sound as you remove the back panel, but that is just the seal loosening.
  • Continue breaking the seals by sliding the plastic opening tool around the entire laptop under the seam until the back panel is free.
  • Once you have broken all the seals, carefully lift the panel off.
