Step 1
If the cover seems a little stubborn, don’t sweat it! Instead of wrestling with it, grab a plastic opening tool to gently coax it open and keep that case looking sharp. Remember, patience is key!

– Tip: Make sure the battery is totally disconnected from the motherboard before you go ahead and remove it.
