How do you remove the back cover of an envy 17t-n100?

Hello, I'm upgrading my Ram and hard drive to 16 GB  Ram and 1TB ssd drive. I've looked all over, but for the life of me I can not find any info on how to remove the back cover. There are utube videos that show earlier versions but they are completely different. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks

Hi,

Did you know that is a work for Authorized Service Provider parts ? If you wish, for RAM, please try:

1. Turn off the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
2. Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the computer.
3. Disconnect all external devices from the computer.
4. Remove the battery (see Battery on page 27).
5. Remove the optical drive (see Optical drive on page 28).
6. Remove the bottom cover (see Bottom cover on page 31).

as mentioned on page #38 of the following manual:

  DIY will void warranty.

Good luck.
