Place the computer on a table.

Remove the screws holding the side panel with a screwdriver.

Slide the side panel from right to left to open the computer and see its components.

Place the side panel somewhere else to keep the area clear, and set the computer down on its side, where the open side is up for you to work.

From here on out, you should have your flashlight to shine a light on your computer so you can see the components.
