[QUOTE="thomas998, post: 992403, member: 111388"] Those instructions look fine for what they are, but you will need to go a few steps further to remove do the lower case. Frankly I would just live with the dent. I know dents sucks, I had one myself that bother me for months. Make sure of one thing before you embark on this, get yourself the correct size screw drivers and make sure you get good ones. The cheap chromed silver ones with a hardened steel driver tip are garbage, while they might work fine they may also either strip the screw head (which will be a royal pain) or often the tip starts sliding in the chromed part and they just wont work. The last thing you want when you do this is to have to stop halfway through while you go out looking for another screwdriver. Also, consider getting a large piece of styrofoam so you can draw an outline of the laptop on it... then after you remove each screw place it in the foam in the general location it came from, this will make remember which screw went where much easier.
