You need a slender long Torx #8 I think. This is a security screw, so the driver is special. If you're careful, you can use a flat edge screwdriver, sort of jamming the edge into the torx screw.....be careful.

Yes, the four screws holding the "stand" on are the tamper-proof torx. The rest of the screws are Philips.

Remove the "stand" first. Then remove the 7 Philips.(4 top, 2 bottom, 1 on ps/2 cover).
Once these are removed you will have to gently pry the halves apart.

By the way the plastic outside case around the edges has little plastic tung/grove's to help snap/secur the 2 plastic half's (front/back cover) togeather. You'll have to pry thouse apart also.

Its a good tidbit to know or you may think you missed a screw or something.
