OK. You've got step 1, 2, and 3 done. Now step 4 is mostly grunting and cussing at the aforementioned accursed side panel. Hold down those two tabs and pull.
I find it helpful if you rest the machine on it's side in your lap; place the front of the machine against your stomach. The push those tabs inwards and push away from you, in this position you can use your forearms to get some extra leverage. Once you have it moved a hairline, you can use your palms on the front side of the panel (near your stomach) to push it farther away. Do note that the panel only needs to slide back 1 or 2 inches, then it will just lift off. There are other ways of doing this, but with this technique I can open the case in a matter of seconds without any bruised appendages and eternal damnation for my lack of decent language. -Robyn On Thursday, December 12, 2002, at 08:48 AM, Steve Rogers wrote: > There's a big screw...
