      • Unscrew the eighteen 10mm screws that secure the back panels using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

      • The panel is still attached to the SwagTron by wires that go to the motherboard.

      • Carefully lift the panels off

      • There is one connection on the battery side and three on the other side that must be removed.

      • These connections may be difficult to remove. Try to securely press the connection and pull firmly.

      • Your back panels are now completely removed.
