Lift up the rubber stopper on the backplate to expose one Phillips screw. Unscrew it until it becomes loose.
This screw is permanently connected to the backplate and cannot be removed. Unscrewing it only allows you to remove the backplate from the laptop.
The backpate is the plastic plate on the underside of the laptop that covers some of its easily accessible internal components.

Step 5

Use an opening tool to pry up the backplate along its edges, then remove it.
You may need to apply some force when prying up the backplate.
Keep in mind: During reassembly, replace the backplate starting from the bottom.
