i wish the bottom cover magically came off like in step 9

sandjo - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

screws are actually C1- C5 one is incorrectly labelled - C7 = C1 also in step 8.5 there are 3 clips holding back edge of bottom cover to top one. one on each end and one just to right of I/O area. can get 2 of them with a spudger (ends) and the middle one with a isesamo.

Several steps missing between 8 and 9
