How to open an Aspire z3-105

LK1905

i've been having a problem with booting my Aspire z3-105. When I try to start up the computer, It beeps 3 times, pauses for a second, then beeps 3 more times, and the computer doesn't boot. Can't get into the BIOS either. I've had the problem in the past before, but usually I can just reboot the computer, and it starts up fine, but now it doesn't.

Having researched the problem, I have found that the most likely problem is dust affecting the RAM. Which seems like and easy fix, just clean the RAM.

However, I have no idea how to actually open the computer. I have managed to take the back leg off, and taken the screws out, but don't know how to slide the case off.

Does anyone have any idea how?

Also, I forgot to add that when I used to have this problem, the fan would spin really hard for a few seconds, but now I can't hear it at all.

Another question, but does anyone know what beep codes Acer uses? I tried googling and couldn't find anything.
