Introduction

This guide can be used if the device’s back cover is damaged or replacement inside the device is needed. If you are unsure about what you need to replace underneath the back cover, visit this troubleshooting page.

Everything required to begin getting inside your device is here. For this guide, you will need a plastic opening tool and a T5 Torx screwdriver.

Make sure to turn off the device before taking it apart.

    • Flip the device over so that the underside is facing up.

    • Remove the six 3.5 mm T5 Torx screws.

    • Pry off the back cover using the plastic opening tool.

    • Loosen the back cover in multiple spots using the opening tool, then remove the whole back.

    • You may have to run the plastic tool along the edges until you find a small gap to separate the back cover from the laptop.

    • Do not use a metal tool when working with your device.

    The gap is so small that I wasn’t able to insert anything to pry the cover up. The suction cup tool lifted the cover off easily.

    There is a very convenient spot to begin the prying process. Up by the hinge, where the metal back turns in perpendicular to the edge to get around the hinge mechanism, there is a gap between the cover and the rest of the laptop where it can be pried up easily. From there it is easy to run a tool and widen the gap all the way around.

    I tried Thomas's suggestion first, and it worked like a charm: the suction cup took it right off.
    Instead of pushing the cup against the laptop I "pulled it flat" and placed it against the back, so it'd just suck onto it. (Didn't want to deform the laptop cover)
