I need to replace the battery on my HP Spectre x360 13-ap0038nr. This requires taking the back off. I've looked at the manual at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06155404.pdf It shows that you remove the rubber foot near the hinges which should reveal 4 screws. You also remove the other rubber foot which should reveal 2 more screws. You remove these screws and the back then comes off.
The problem is that there are no screws under the rubber feet or anywhere else that I can see. I doubt I have a "special" model. Has anyone figured this out? Is the back held on with glue that needs to be heated?

There's also a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhD3EzzZepc which shows the same procedure as the manual.
