Step 2
- Use a Jimmy to lift the cover directly up off of the locating pins.
- Though a metal opening tool is shown in the image, we recommend using plastic opening tools to minimize any cosmetic damage.
- Remove the back cover.
- If you encounter resistance when lifting the cover, revisit the screws to see if any of them are still threaded on to the device.
