Help taking a hp N3xxx laptop apart

[santar72]

I need to take a hp laptop apart to exchange a bad cdrom with a good one. I have tried taking all the screws on the bottom of the laptop but it still would not come apart. Anybody have a service manual or know the secret to taking this laptop apart?

Thanks

Not sure if they are the same but here is a guide with pic`s on the n5100-n5300 laptops...

Also you might contact "hans007" I think he is the one that did this guide...

Thanks I try it first and see if it works before I contact him. Maybe I should go from the top in instead of the bottom in.
