There certainly is. You can download a pdf (2.5MB) from my site at www.nbarnes.easynet.co.uk/libretto/li50_70ct.pdf of the tech manual - complete with nice pictures. However - quick precis: Remove battery and power; remove seven screws from the bottom of the case (don't try and split it yet); turn it over and remove the keyboard trim strip (it lifts at the top right of the keyboard); remove screw at top centre of keyboard (you'll be getting a good collection of screws at this time); remove keyboard (two screws through silver thingy, plus a flat cable connector - carefully push the retaining latch out about 1mm to release the cable); remove retaining screw and memory expansion if fitted; remove silver thingy - two screws over processor heatsink; remove screen connector; and at this stage, if I haven't forgotten anything; you'll be able to split the top and bottom of the case apart. Motherboard remains in bottom half, battery is plugged in left hand side at the main battery end. In the immortal words of the Haynes workshop manuals: reassembly is a reversal of the above procedure... note that most of the screws are the same as each other, but the ones that hold the silver thingy to the heatsink have a wider shank than the others, and the one that holds the memory expansion in has a wider flatter head. You could remove the disk if you feel nervous about it.
