Amstrad PC 1512 DD Help!

[VintageComputerman]

I have an old Amstrad PC 1512 DD and I cannot figure out how to open the case, other than the pop off covers.

It almost looks like the case was put on in two halves and heat sealed together.

Anyone have a manual handy or experience in opening this system up? I'm trying to get pictures of the inside. I don't have a monitor, keyboard or mouse, so I can't even try it out yet.

There are seven screws. Four in the corners under little plastic covers, and the three in the expansion bay that hold ISA cards in.

Thanks for the help. I suspected some were hidden, but I didn't want to tear up anything looking until I knew for sure.

Yea, I've been baffled at times by screws hidden by plastic covers.

Come to think of it, it was an IBM 5150 monitor. A little plastic cover in the top hiding the screws.
