Steps
1. Remove the six screws (M2x5) that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
2. Loosen the four captive screws that secure the base cover to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.

Loosening the two captive screws located in the front of the computer creates a gap which can be used to pry
and lift the base cover off the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
3. Starting from the gap created at the left-bottom corner, pry open the base cover. Work your way around the bottom edge
and bottom-right corner of the base cover.
4. Lift the base cover off the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
