Look for tabs in between esc and f1, f4 and f5, f8 and f9, f12 and scroll.
Pull these tabs towards you.

Flip the laptop over and on the back of the center of the keyboard there is a screw with a rectangle beside it that looks like a keyboard. Remove this Phillips 5mm screw and another similar screw in the back top left of the keyboard.
