      • Squeeze the plastic opening tool in between the seam where the screen joins the plastic case.

      • Begin separating the bottom of the case from the screen by carefully going around the whole edge of the case and slowly prying it apart.

      • Be careful when separating the lids because the wires holding the speaker to the motherboard are very short.
