Careful not to pry the clips on the top half of the back panel—they like to stay put!

Step 6
These clips are pretty easy to bend, so don’t force them out. If some get bent, no worries—they can be bent back into shape.
The bottom of the bezel is glued in place, so when you're sliding those clips out, just take it slow and steady to avoid any mishaps!
- Gently wedge the plastic opening tool under the bezel along the top and sides to pop it loose.
Step 7
- Grab your trusty Phillips #00 screwdriver and let's tackle those screws like pros!
- We've got three different pairs of screws to keep things interesting! The screws in the top corners are 4 mm #00 Phillips screws, the ones in the bottom corners are 2 mm #00 Phillips screws, and the black screws at the bottom center? They're 6 mm #00 Phillips screws. Keep them sorted and we're golden!
Step 8
- Now that the screws are out of the way, carefully lift the case off the internals like a pro!
Step 9
- Grab your trusty Spudger and use the sharp end to gently pry the Speaker's connector away from the motherboard on both sides. It's like giving it a little nudge to say, 'Hey there, let's get you disconnected!'

Step 10
