help with HP laptop case openning

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I dropped my HP laptop while the power adapter was pluggen-in and I
think it took most of the force of the impact and seperated from the
circuit board. So I am trying to open the case to confirm and repair if
needed and I am having difficulty. I have searched on the net for a
site to aid in disassembly and haven't been able to find anything. It
is only a 1 1/2 years old but still only worth $400 or so and therefore
sending back to HP for repair isn't an option due to cost. Any tips or
suggestions? thanks, rick
