+	[* black] Flip the device over so it's facing screen-side up.
+	[* black] Slide the screen upward by a few millimeters without detaching the screen - just enough to expose the top edge of the metallic panel so that you can reach underneath.

	[* red] Use the plastic opening tool to pry off the front panel.
