Before beginning, make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect it from any external power source.

If you have trouble gripping a tab, use a spudger to wedge it loose.

Using the iFixit opening tool, carefully pry along the sides of the back cover.
After all of the edges of the back cover have been freed, use your opening tool to carefully unclip the tabs holding the back cover to the CD drive.
After everything is unclipped, you can safely remove the back cover from the rest of the device.
