The Back cover is held on by two 11 mm Phillips #0 screws (circled in orange) and eight 6 mm Phillips #0 Screws (circled in red). The Two 11 mm screws are located at the top corners when the laptop is placed upside down with the hinge away.

Step 2

Pry the back cover off by inserting the plastic opening tool at the hinges and wedging it between the Back cover and the body.
Follow along the back edge with the plastic opening tool, lifting the cover off. It is normal to hear snapping/clicking sounds as the back cover is held on by clips.
