Might post it as it is (if that's ok with my man). I've got down to those last 2 screws, it's really difficult to see if you are undoing them or not :?:

I only use two screw drivers. Ones a philips #0 and the other is a tri-wing that I bought from gamersection.ca, here is the link to the tri-wing that I bought http://www.gamersection.ca/product_info ... f0qqbrejb1

Dunno if that helps you any, but thats what I used to open mine up with.

:idea: Tip: When removing the case screws, use different colored Sharpies to color code the screws AND the holes they came from. I usually remove the screw first, color the head and then color the screwhole it came from. There are four (or is it 5?) different screw types (head/length) combinations.

I've got the right screwdrivers, just can't see if I'm undoing them or not....

I'll post a few pic's soon, you only need to remove
5 Phillips screws and 8 Tri Wing screws for the case.
Phillips:
2 Small black phillips either side of the front panel, 2 even smaller phillips on the black side panel, 1 that hold the battery.
Tri-Wing:
2 Black ones under the stickers on the front panel, 2 Silver under the rear rubber feet, 2 Silver Under the black side panel, 1 Silver under the battery compartment, 1 Silver under the small sticker on the side near the battery, the one at the bottom.

Then 4 Phillips that are holding the DVD drive down.

Take care when lifting the drive, watch out for the ribbon cable.
