Remove the four T8 Torx screws from the upper case.
It’s very easy for the top two screws to become loose inside the machine. This is less of an issue if you’re planning a full disassembly, but the loose screws can get lost inside the machine when re-assembling, which will require disassembling again. To make the re-assembly easier, use a pair of angled tweezers to place the top two screws back in their holes and then screw in.
Also, pay attention to the screw lengths in this step. Some screws are longer than others, and you’ll want to remember which of the four screws go into which holes.
