Remove the hinge covers on each end of the laptop using a guitar pick and a spudger tool.

There are three plastic latches you are trying to release. They are circled in red.

You may need to adjust the spudger and guitar pick position to release all the latches.

Repeat for the hinge cover on the opposite side.

The hinge covers are not interchangeable. The bevel on the front faces the keyboard.
