To access this part of the circuit board, you actually do not need to remove any screws. If you are very careful, you can use a flathead screwdriver and insert it into the gap between the front bezel and the bottom plastic, and pry the bottom plastic up. You'll have to work it up by gapping the plastic at both ends of the seam between the front bezel and the bottom plastic, since there are two friction locks on either end of the seam. The piece just snaps into place, there are no screws that hold it down. If you're not careful, the worst you will do is break the retaining tab on the bottom plastic, which means that your battery compartment won't be held snugly in place when you put it back together again.
