i need to replace my laptop case and the monitor caseing because i droped my laptop and bits broke off and cracks have formed, iv tried to open it befor, i got all the screws out that i could see but its like there was screws in the middle stopping it from opening, i had taken the dvd drive out aswell so there were non under there, do i have to take the keyboard off, and if so,how do i do that because if tried befor when i needed to clean it, but i wasnt sure how, i pulled on some metal tabs but it seem like it was going to brake, so im not sure what to do

Have you looked in your manual?

If you can't find anything then give us the make and model of the notebook and we can look around.

i didnt get a manual with my laptop, only the windows starter guide, its a advent 7086 laptop tho

Hmmm...looks like a small investment may be needed: eBay.co.uk: ADVENT 7036 7037 7086 USER MANUALS AND RECOVERY CD!! (item 130070587156 end time 21-Jan-07 20:22:45 GMT)
