Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to loosen the single 7.0 mm screw from the hard drive/RAM panel.

You cannot remove the screw from the panel. Simply unscrew it until it is loosened.

Pull the cover towards you and up from the device to remove it.

If the cover does not come off easily, use an opening tool or spudger to gently pry the cover up.

Hearing a snapping noise while removing the hard drive/RAM cover is normal.
