Before you begin, shut down your laptop and unplug it.
Close the screen and lay your laptop down with the rear case facing up to access the four rubber feet.

Insert an opening pick between the rear case and the rubber foot.
Pry up with the pick and dislodge the foot from the rear case.
Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the rubber foot.
Repeat this process on the remaining rubber feet.
There are two types of rubber feet for this laptop. During reassembly, make sure the top feet say "M4" and the bottom feet say "M1".
To reinstall a rubber foot, align it over the recess and push down until it's secured.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 4.5 mm screws securing the rear case.
Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

Apply a suction handle to the middle of the rear case's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.
Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a small gap between the rear case and the frame.
This may take significant force and multiple tries.
Insert an opening pick into the gap you created.

Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to release the clips securing the rear case.
Continue sliding the pick along the perimeter of the laptop until all the clips securing the rear case have been released.

Lift the rear case up and away from the laptop and remove it.
During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down before you continue working.

Use tweezers or your fingers to peel up and remove the tape covering the battery connector.
Set the tape aside. You'll reuse it during reassembly.

Insert the flat end of a spudger under the battery cables, as close to the connector as possible.
Gently pry up and disconnect the battery connector from its socket.
