Step 3

Insert an opening tool between the screen and the back cover at the bottom edge of the screen.
Slide the opening tool to the bottom right corner to release the plastic clips holding the back cover in place.

Be careful to identify the correct groove to attack with the opening tool. The correct groove is the one adjacent to the screen and not the one embossed on the back cover.
