3. Starting from the top right corner, use a plastic prying tool to separate the cover from the laptop. Use light pressure to prevent the plastic from breaking.
4. You should feel the frame coming loose. If necessary, use spacers to keep the frame from locking back into place.
5. Repeat the above step around the laptop until you are able to lift the cover.

9. Now slide out the component gently and place it in a secure location.
