3. Step 2
  The top cover is made of printed circuit board (PCB) material. Press gently but firmly near an edge when applying the suction handle to avoid breaking the cover.
  
  Apply a suction handle to the top cover.
  
  Use the suction handle to lift the top cover off of the laptop.
  
  Alternatively, you can use a thin prying tool to lift the cover, or tilt the laptop until the cover falls out.
  
  There's a thermal pad between the top cover and the processor that may stick to the top cover during removal.
