Schritt 1

Make sure the laptop is off and unplugged before starting.
Using the plastic opening tool, remove the top rubber feet on the back panel as it hides one of the screws we will be removing.

Schritt 2

Using a PH0 screwdriver, unscrew the ten 4.4mm Phillips head screws located on the back panel.

Correction. Top two screen pivot screws are bigger than the 8, 4mm.

Schritt 3

Using the plastic opening tool, remove the back cover of the laptop.
It is recommended that you start with a corner and run the tool throughout the edges of the cover.
Be sure not to bend the cover by applying too much force.

What? I think you have have neglected to mention the DVD drawer. I believe it needs to be pulled out after removing the center screw and before removing the cover.

Yes, best to remove the drawer as recommended. Also there are 3 screws holding the battery, not 2.

Lastly, pay careful attention to the orientation photo when removing the back.

I did not have the plastic tool but used a small Teflon type kitchen spatula and it did the trick. Do not use a metal screw driver or other such tool.
