    • Before starting repairs, turn off your device and unplug any cables.

    • Depending on the model, some fabric covers are secured only by plastic clips, while others use both plastic clips and screws.

    • Begin prying only on the edge shown in the photos. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the fabric cover's clips if your model's cover is also secured with screws.

    • Insert the flat end of a metal spudger into the seam between the two halves of the fabric cover.

    • Push the spudger underneath the edge of the fabric cover without the textured rubber and pry upwards to release its plastic clips.
