There are little clips attaching the back cover to the chassis. The back cover has a little recess right over the power button. Using your fingernail or the spudger, you can lift the cover here.

Carefully disconnect the back cover from the chassis.

Remove the back cover.

Attaching the back cover
Position the back cover on the chassis.

The back cover hooks onto the bottom of the chassis.

Carefully press the back cover on all over so the retaining clips can click into place.
