Step 4

Starting at the center, insert a spudger into the crevice between the bottom casing and the keyboard and pry upwards.
Gently slide the spudger along the entire perimeter of the device and pry the casing loose to unhook six clips.
These images show a metal spudger, which has the potential to damage the device. Use a plastic opening tool or standard spudger instead.
Do not be alarmed if you feel a gentle tug or hear a click as you slide your spudger. These sounds are the clips detaching from the casing.
