Chromebook Flip C302 Back Cover Removal

Turn the Chromebook upside down. You may want to place paper or another soft material between the lid and your work surface, so as not to scratch it.

Remove the 10 (6.14 mm) case screws with a T4 Torx driver.

Using a spudger (or prying tool, or fingernail), gently lift the feet at the rear of the laptop (near the hinges). Get underneath the pad, then release the adhesive by sweeping in a circular motion.

Store the feet upside down and not sticking to anything―you can likely re-adhere them after replacing the cover.

Use a #00 screwdriver to remove the 3.17 mm screws from beneath the rear feet.

Using a plastic prying tool (avoid metal, as the case is easily scratched), lift the back cover from the case. The underside of a hinge is a good place to start.

You'll feel the cover give way, but there are loose clips holding the lid on. Work gently around the lid, prying and moving beyond clips when you encounter them.

Pull away the back cover. You now have access to the battery, the write-protect screw, and other components.
