The palmrest plastic is fragile. Handle it carefully.

Two miniature LEDs will be exposed in the top edge of the bottom casing. Handle with caution to avoid damage.

Detach each of the 5 plastic clips. Run a plastic opening tool along the underside of the top half. You will hear the 'clicks' of the clips coming undone.

After the clips are loose, disconnect the palmrest flatflex and remove it.
