Turn the computer upright and lift the screen.

Carefully use a spudger to pry the plastic keyboard cover from the base.

When using the metal spudger, be careful not to press into the components underneath the keyboard cover. If possible, use a standard spudger or plastic opening tool to remove the keyboard cover.

Work the spudger around the cover to release the clips attaching the cover to the base.

Be patient when removing the cover, as there are many clips and it may take some time.
