Patrick Webster -

There's a slightly safer (as in, less likely to leave little plastic tabs all over your desk) approach to getting the base off. It's documented very well in the official T480 Hardware Maintenance Manual.

If that link breaks, search online for "T480 hmm".

Find the "Base cover assembly" section and note where they tell you to push down with your thumb, and pull up with your fingers. The numbered arrows show you the order in which to approach things.
