My guess would be a screw under a "void if removed sticker"

Looking at my HP, I have atleast 2 screws on the back and it looks like it would catch on the screw mount om my printerand serial ports. Other than that my last guess would be under the keyboard.
Goodluck |

my Inspiron has been taken apart several times for fan replacement and resoldering the connection from the power jack to the motherboard and you pretty much have to remove every single screw and do some prying to get it completely apart. it's a little spooky the first time you do it but it gets easier the 2nd time and 3rd time

extra screws arn't a problem. I once took apart a power supply to really clean the insides out (even with just normally air blowing it I could smell electricity zapping lint (or burning lint) or something) and when I was done I was left with around 5 screws. Still worked fine. The outer case didn't fit as nice and tight as before, but that is only cosmetic.

Remember, it is put together like a sammich. Pc board levels are screwed down in between the palm rest cover and the main board, so you need to pull off those boards before removing the palm rest. Remove battery Pull off bezel cover (with the power/HDD/etc leds) yank out all the screws on the bottom of the notebook, sort by sizes, marks should exist where the longer ones go back - longer are usually for the keyboard... Remove Keyboard remove display (screw holding down connector on motherboard, remember to take it out. Remove Pc boards available, careful of the edge ribbon connectors (flip darker brown part down, pull cable out) Remove Palm rest ("Top" of notebook with display open), another mini-ribbon wire here.... The wireless antenna wrap around, they disconnect via to mini-coax connectors (by mini, I mean mini. 1/8" or so diameter barrel connectors, 1 white wire, 1 black wire, they wind around the bezel cover and motherboard. You should now see the entire power jack that you can't do anything about.  Might be a loose solder joint, but the ones I have seen have the whole mainboard cracked there from people having it in their cars, and the power jack getting hit, if yours is intermittent, and you are creative, you should be able to fix it, use a very low wattage soldering iron with a super fine tip. |
