    Same here. I was able to easily remove the 2 middle screws but the rest were just wiggling in place and not coming out at all.

    Denskwik K - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    I have the exact same problem. I dont know if it is because of the screws or if it is because I am an 11 year old.

    • If the back panel is difficult to remove and feels like it is going to break, DO NOT force it. Check to confirm that all the screws are removed before attempting again.

    I was having the same problem as the 11 year old from the previous step, and contrary to this note I just stuck my screwdriver under that tab and pried it off. It worked. It wasn’t even hard.
