    • Before you proceed, make sure your computer is turned off and it's not connected to any power source.

    • Remove the thirteen 9 mm Phillips #1screws.

    • Pull out the DVD drive and unscrew the final 3 wide-head screws holding the back in place.

    Attention ! Sur le mien, il faut après avoir retiré la vis au dessus de l’étiquette blanche, faire coulisser le lecteur dvd vers l’extérieur (la vis le maintenait en place).

    Une fois celui-ci retiré apparaissent les 3 dernières vis à retirer pour pouvoir retirer le boitier inférieur sans souci.

Informative except , you didn’t mention the three screws underneath the DVD drive. The DVD drive must be removed first before you can remove the 3 additional screws.

DO NOT try to remove the back without pulling the DVD drive and unscrewing the additional three screws!!! You'll break the thinnest part of the back. This guide erroneously makes no mention of these three flat screws.

Remove all the bottom screws Then You have to remove the keyboard before you can get the back off. Back center screw by the decal is for keyboard. The lightly pry off keyboard. 3 screws (1 screw under round sticker) under it have to be removed. Remove DVD. Then back will come off.
