Turn off your Roborock S5.

Place it on a flat work surface.

Use an opening tool to carefully pry under the section of the top panel with the buttons.

Gently pull upward to snap the panel off the top of the vacuum. It is secured in place by five snaps that you will need to release to remove the panel.

This can take some force, and the snaps can be quite loud. Be careful not to break the panel.
