You would be using picture 2 to release and swing up arm the mechanism. The 2 tabs with the blue arrow, and then you can swing it upwards to access the motherboard.
It's a bit stiff, you you likely will have to give it a bit of a push or pull. But it does swing upwards.
All the other instructions are also in that service manual.
@Vanadiel mines also doing it it worked on Sunday but after me and my dad were seeing what specs it I tried to turn it on again today but nothing I think it means power issue but i don't know

How many consecutive flashes does it show? System Diagnostic Lights
Also, can you perform a CMOC reset as per these instructions: Clear CMOS

The process for the power supply swing arm is identical on all of them.

Hello,
There wasn't a detectable flash sequence. The alien head just kept flashing.
I successfully opened the left hand cover. Yet, I don't know how to open the rest of the computer to perform a CMOS [sic CMOC] reset.
Are there instructions for that?

After using my phone as a flashlight and magnifying glass, I was able to find the power supply to the main board and the CMOS to perform a reset.
Many thanks! Your suggestion was right on.

@daboy9902 Try a BIST
If that checks out ok, release the fleas.
If that did not bring it back to life, often the easiest fix is replacing the Coin Cell Battery.
A new battery can be gotten at any hardware or electronic store.
Just wait 30 seconds between taking it out and putting the new one in.
