3. Step 2
  Insert the plastic opening tool in the crevice between the panel and the keyboard.
  
  Apply some pressure and lift up so that the back panel is pried away from the keyboard.
  
  The panel is glued down on the inside so this may require some force to lift away the panel.
  
  Continue to lift until the panel is completely separated from the keyboard.
  
  The panel is still attached to the keyboard by a ribbon cable so only lift the panel a few inches.

  Lift the panel away with the ribbon cable still attached and set aside the panel so that you can work on other components.
