Pry up with the opening pick to release the clips securing the foot.
Remove the foot.
Repeat this procedure for the three remaining feet.
During reassembly, press the feet into their correct slot to reinsert them. Mismatched feet won't fit correctly.
Step 2: Unfasten the rear case
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 4.5 mm-long screws securing the rear case.
Step 3: Insert an opening pick
Apply a suction cup to the rear case, as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.
Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear case and the frame.
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
Step 4: Release the clips
Slide the pick along the bottom edge of the rear case to release its plastic clips.
Repeat this process for the left and right edges, but ***stop before reaching the top edge.***
Step 5: Remove the rear case
The top edge of the rear case is lightly adhered to the frame.
Pull the top of the rear case away from the frame to separate the adhesive and release the remaining clips.
