Just remove the screws in the base, remove the keyboard and its 3 retaining screws (one at the top, 2 holding the black straps in), remove the 2 screws holding the heat plate in (they screw into the heatsink) then you can twist the case open and pop the motherboard out. Easy ;-) - Raymond P.S. you don't really need to replace the heatsink grease even if you remove the heat plate as long as that heat pad is still there. --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
