On the back of the computer down to the left bottom are two screws.
These screws are called Smart Cover Lock Screws.
They are a Torx screw.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TorxIf you do not have Torx screwdrivers, or Torx bits available, you may want to check out an auto parts store, or hardware store for their cheap line.
Once the two tamper-proof screws are removed, turn the computer around to face front.
There are two triangular shaped buttons to push in to release the computer cover.
(Triangular shaped with a round indention in the middle)
One button on each side.
Both buttons are pressed in simultaneously, and the computer cover is slid forward.
The buttons are then released, and the computer cover is lifted up, and off.
