Step 4 Continue latch detachment
• After placing one plastic opening tool into the slit, slide other plastic opening tools along the slit to detach the top from the bottom of the chassis.
• Go all the way along the chassis until you can lift the upper lid.
Step 5 Fully remove the upper lid
• Do not fully remove the lid until you remove the ribbon cable attached to the front of the upper lid.
• Do this by grabbing the upper lid from the sides and rotating it ninety degrees so it is perpendicular to the bottom lid.
• Grab the ribbon cable and gently pull it out of its slot with your fingers.
• The upper lid can now safely be removed from the bottom lid.
