Use your finger nail to lift up the silver tape.
The iOpener gets very hot. Use the tabs on each end of the iOpener to handle it when hot. Failure to do so may result in injury. Do not microwave iOpener for any longer than 30 seconds at a time.
Use an iOpener to heat up the touch pad. Place the iOpener on the touch pad as pictured for one minute.
Use a metal jimmy to gently pry up the touch pad sensor.
If the touch pad sensor has not loosened enough to remove, repeat heating with the iOpener in one-minute intervals until the sensor can be removed.
Metal spudgers and similar prying tools can harm internal components like the touchpad sensor. It is ideal to use a regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool, but for this device the metal jimmy was the only tool to work.
