Can't get back of msi ge72 6qf

[Matthew_188]

I am unable to get the back of the laptop of so that I can replace the thermal compound. I have taken all the screws out on top including the one under warranty sticker.

I was using the ifixit tutorial

As well as the screws there is usually a number of concealed plastic clips all the way round the seam which you have to gently prise up one by one to release. Use a thin, wide screwdriver to "pop" the clips and take your time. Don't use heavy force or you risk snapping one or more of the clips.
