Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion N-5350 notebook that I'd like to take apart to get to the harddrive so that I may replace it. It came with a 20 GB IBM Travelstar (not sure model number at the moment), and it's noisy as he11. Sometimes, I think it's going to die. I want to replace it with another 20 gigger, but I can't get into this thing. So far I've taken out 10 screws from the bottom and 2 from the rear. I managed to get the front to pop off, but the rear of the notebook refuses to budge. I've noticed that the laptop's display is hiding 4 more screws that seem to be screwed into the base. Anyone have any experience opening these suckers? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!
