Flip laptop back over and open it so that the screen faces you. Several rubber cushions hide screws around the bezel (surrounding frame). Remove these first to get to the screws underneath. The two bottom covers are stickers. Then remove all screws holding the bezel in place.
There will be four 3 mm screws located on the top and two 5 mm screws located on the bottom of the bezel.
