There are 4 screws to remove. 2 in the handle, 2 on the back bottom (each 
corner).

After that, you need to pry the computer apart. You can do it with a 
large flat bladed screw driver, but you WILL knick the case. The better 
bet is to get a cheap spring wood clamp and use the blade from it. Put 
the clamp into the crack between the front and back halves, and carefully 
squeeze the clamp. That will spread the case. Do that in a few places, 
and the case should loosen up enough to lift the back off of it.

If you can't get a wood clamp, the point is, you need to put something in 
that crack and spread the case. A screwdriver, or anything small will 
damage the plastics, so the wider and the straighter the spreading action 
the better.
