Step 1 - Top Housing
You can skip this step if you bought your
putty knife from iFixit. Putty knives
purchased from iFixit come with pre-ground
edges.
You'll need a putty knife in order to open the case. A
1.5 inch thin putty knife will work well, but you'll want to
grind the edge down. Rub the putty knife's short edge
back and forth on a sheet of all purpose rough grit
sandpaper (100 grit will work fine) until it attains a
beveled edge.
