what should I do if I don’t have a nylon spudger? Is it safe to use my fingers to pry it open? I know I need to be careful about static or else it could fry the comp.
Glad I read this…didn't know about the 2 screws under the grip pads. Once again the internet comes through.
But where can i purchase the bottom cover
