Just be careful on the front right....you'll need to slide the top piece towards you (as the clips on the bottom are easily broken). I may have a decent bottom if you're interested. >The other is the latch on the screen.

Does anybody know if this is possible without >replacing the whole screen? There are two screws under the little plastic covers on the lower half of the display. The cover snaps on (snaps on the upper half of the case....be careful, I've broken one before. You'll have to wiggle the display front cover...it will pop loose if you apply a bit of force on the gap with a flat blade. The latch just slips out...pretty much held in place with a spring. >I'm currently trying to get a donor machine for parts as well, if anyone's >got a dead Duo lying around. Thanks. I've got some plastic (the cases) but am about out of electronics. Somewhere I have a Global Village Mercury (19.2K) modem if someone is interested.
