Steps:

1. Make sure that the device is unplugged and turned off.
2. Flip the laptop from the front to the back.

3. Start by pinching the switches on either side of the battery outwards.
4. At the same time push the external battery, located in the back, upwards.
5. Remove the external battery from the laptop.

6. Loosen the eight 4.2 mm screws holding the back cover on using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
7. These screws should be held in place by a small plastic washer which secures them to the cover and should not be loosened. This is illustrated in the third image.

8. Gently pull the cover off and set aside.
9. An iFixit opening tool may make it easier to gently remove the cover.
