Laptop computer question
I was going to post this in the computer group until UI realized my star had run out; whoops:)

Anyway; I have a Twinhead P88 series laptop that I want to upgrade w/ a new Hard drive, but I can't figure how to open the case to get to the hard drive; any ideas on how I open it w/o taking a hammer to it?

3. I'm not familiar with that model.

But.. Remove the battery and all accessories. If the warranty is up remove all the stickers. They like to hide screws under stickers.

And try to get one corner to come free.. That often points to places with screws. Hopefully they didn't use the snappy-tabs like Apple does.

A USB hard drive might be a good investment.

edit: And if your laptop has rubber feet. Remove them, they often hide screws underneath them.

4. How big is your current HDD?
The maximum for that model is 10 GB.

6. thanks everybody
After almost throwing the laptop against the wall to give it a shock opening:) , I finally figured out that the keyboard came off, letting me take the case off.

Thanks for your help!
