    • Place the unit screen-side down flat, with the bottom facing you. There are two seams; the one on top is artificial.

    • This is the real seam—open it with a plastic opening tool in step 4.

    • Firmly force a plastic spudger into the bottom seam and pry open a section. Use a prying/pushing motion to force the tool into the unit until you feel a click.

    • Repeat this all the way around the seam.
