Andy Hopgood, December 2009

Oh, I forgot to add (continued from the post below) to the right of the 'lid' there is a small round button. You must press this before you can slide it left...

CAN I ADD TO THIS TO HELP IT MAKE SENSE?
-I've just taken mine apart, successfully... Look down on the machine with the screen facing away from you. The SILVER 'lid' - with all the tiny holes in - at the very top of the back portion of the Vaio. Slide this LEFT and it will lift off - you will then be able to see the connectors & the Two Black scews mentionned above. James, Uchooze.com
