    If you're talking about the panel that the power button is on, you need to remove two screws that secure it, these are beneath the battery, which you'll need to remove first.

    Then with a little persuasion it will come off, but be careful, there is a ribbon cable attaching it to a PCB, this will need detaching before you can fully remove the panel, after you initially unclip it.
