    • Using the flat metal spudger and curved metal spudger, make a wedge between the plastic back cover and the inner frame

    • Using the second spudger, slowly work your way around the perimeter of the device

    • Listen for clicking sounds as you are prying the back cover away from the frame

    • As the back cover is almost completely removed, use the suction-cup tool to remove the plastic cover without damaging the back

    • Use a 000 phillips head screwdriver to remove the 10 1.2mm phillips head screws in the plastic frame that hold the motherboard and battery.

    • Use a 000 phillips head screwdriver to remove the 3 0.5mm phillips head screws in the plastic frame that hold the motherboard and battery.

    • Use the small plastic opening tool and place it in the slot on the bottom right corner of the inner frame and carefully pry it off.

    I don't think it is necessary to remove the three 0.5mm screws. Note: the right-most orange circle should be placed instead of the red circle above the two larger orange circles - those are the 0.5mm screws which secures a small plate under the plastic cover which is in NOT physically (but electrically via two metal contacts) to the mainboard.
