HP Spectre x360 - 13-ap0038nr
Microsoft Windows 11

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?
