    • As with all electronic devices, make sure your device is powered off before you begin.

    • Gently lift up the access panel; it should easily "pop" open.

    My model does not have screws in the front as indicates here. Not sure what to do now

    • Remove 14mm screws on the front panel with a J1 Phillips head screwdriver.

    • There are 8 screws in total.

    FYI: I bought the Ifixit toolkit and sadly the screw driver isn’t long enough to remove the 4 middle screws.

    What sizes are the screws exactly? I took mine apart and someone threw out the screws so now I need replacements.

    • Be gentle, the rubber seal is fragile and easy to tear, resulting in cosmetic damage to your device.

    • Using the ifixit Opening Tool, carefully pry off the rubber seal around the sides.

    • The seal is held by adhesive, if this is proving difficult you can use a heat gun to help the process.

    • The cover is the most difficult part to remove. As you work, pry continuously, moving the tool around the device, working it a little further as you go.

    • Using the ifixit Opening Tool, pry open at the seam found under the rubber seal.

    • As the cover starts to come off, you can lift up using your hand.

    I tried this with the ifixit tool, but I could not remove the cover

    I used a sharp knife. Note carefully where the seam is in the above diagram: on the back about 7 mm from the edge.
