    • Using the plastic opening tools, insert one opening tool into the gap between the screen casing and the motherboard casing. Then insert the other tool into one of the adjacent sides and slide it around the top.

    • The latches break easily during the opening process so we recommend purchasing a new screen casing if they break.
