the keyboard bezel and gently pry it up.

Pull the bezel off your notebook. You will hear small snapping sounds as 
the bezel comes away from your notebook. Be careful not to break off the 
tabs found on the left end of the bezel.

Important

Inserting a piece of cloth between the screwdriver and 
keyboard and notebook case will help prevent damage to 
your notebook.
