11.Important: There is an hidden clip that secures the front of the top case. This clip must be released before the top case can be removed. The clip can be seen behind the optical drive felt, on the left side. Also, there are small slits in the top felt. The clip is behind the first slit from the left.
Use a black stick along the seam of the top and bottom case to add slight upward pressure so that the top case will pop up when the clip is released. Then insert a dental pick behind the clip and pull out slightly to release the clip and the top case.
