Rear Cover
  • Remove three black 4mm screws.

  • Use guitar picks to dislodge 5 plastic latches around the perimeter (arrows)

  • There are two hidden plastic latches (arrows), one inside the hard drive slot, and the other between the floppy drive and the battery slot.

  • You may need to use a combination of a guitar pick and a spudger to dislodge the latch in the battery slot.

  • This step requires patience, sometimes latches can reconnect themselves, so you may want to leave the guitar picks in place until the cover is completely free.

  • Remove the cover and set it aside.
