 It is a somewhat old machine but I am forced to use it...
At any rate I think the hard drive is showing signs of demise.
My question is, how can I opent he case? I have opend other laptops
before, but this one has something I can't see holding it together.

Just above the vents pictures here, is where something is holding on. I
can't see any clip.

Once the majority of the screws are out, look carefully at the rear of
the keyboard for two plastic tabs that engage with protruding edges of
the metal keyboard surround. If you can get the keyboard past these you
can lift it towards you and disengage the ribbon cable(s) (I can't
remember if there are one or two). On the left under the keyboard you'll
find the final recessed screw.

I just realized I posted another article today...
Basically I couldn't reach aioe's site so I didn't think the post made it.
Sorry.
