Insert the metal spudger in the space between the switch cover and the F1, F5, F11 and Insert keys.

Use the spudger to carefully pry the cover plate away from the keyboard and laptop at the aforementioned locations. Remove the cover plate.

If it is possible to do so, it is advised to use a plastic spudger instead of a metal one. The metal spudger can damage the computer's internal components, but the plastic one may be too thick to fit in the gap.
