Insert the blue plastic opening tool into the space between the lower case and the chassis.
-
Slide the opening tool around the perimeter of the case to release the clips holding the case and the chassis together.
-
Remove the back case.
I found a tough spudger (or even better a plectrum) is best here as the clips, although easy to separate, hold the case firmly leaving a tight gap which a soft spudger may fail to enter.
Hi Benjamin, thanks for the tip!
You also have to pry the near the battery. I experienced that you can't pry the front side.
I used a credit card to pry the clips loose, it worked great. Added 2nd RAM stick easily.

Dont forget the 3 clips in the removable battery area. No one mentioned those and I ended up breaking a clip and cracking the bottom cover of my T480... :(
Hey @neccros! Thanks for the feedback. I'm very sorry you cracked your bottom cover. I've updated the guide to incorporate your experience.
