      • Use an iFixit opening pick to unclip the bottom cover.

      • It is ok to run the picks along the edges since there is nothing connected to the bottom cover. It is easier to start from the sides and then work your way forward.

      • After unclipping the bottom case, pull from the back of the laptop upwards using the lip of the bottom case as a handle.
