[QUOTE="ticedoff8, post: 957637, member: 117762"] Besides those two longer screws, there are 2 torx heads screws. They used really small philips head screws everyplace else - why have 2 torx screws? - I don't know. To get these 2 torx head screws out I use a small flat blade - they too aren't tight. And, use a small /medium flat blade screw driver to pry the front of the keyboard up - in addition to the screws, there are plastic tabs around the front that pop into the chassis - so you have to pop them up. When you open the keyboard, tilt it back against the display - don't remove the keyboard ribbon cable. Before you start the project, download smcFanControl and check to make sure the left & right fans are turning. If not, yo can replace them while you are in there. The drive bracket is pretty simple - and pretty obvious. There is a temp sensor right there - so be careful of that. [/QUOTE]
