a. Open the computer all the way (180 degrees) so that it lies flat against your work
surface.
b. Press and hold down the <F4> and <F5> keys to reveal the left release slot of the

across the first row or two of keycaps, and press on the straightedge instead of on the keycaps
themselves.

hand into a fist, brace your knuckles against the keyboard, and pry up the center cover.

keys.
