    • Work your way around the monitor, putting the flathead screwdriver into the space between the front and back covers, and prying up.

    • Twisting the screwdriver can help, but you can easily mess up the plastic without getting anything out of it by doing so. Be cautious.

    • Ideally you want to pry at the locations that have the little gaps, which are locking mechanisms.

    • You should hear a poping sound and the back cover should lift a little if you are prying at the right locations.
