Before beginning the repair process, make sure that your designated workspace is decluttered and clean.

The smaller parts of the device may be at risk of being lost or misplaced if the workspace is not decluttered.

Orient the case so that the power button is aligned with the rightmost corner of the device.

Next, push the ridge-line of the top panel away.

Then, slide the case away and expose the inside of the product.

Continue this process to lift off the side panel that was previously facing you.
