Disassemble Toshiba T2130CS

[el mariachi]

I found this laptop and want to remove the hdd.
i already removed all the bottom screws (at least the visible ones) but the bottom won't come out.

if someone has a schematic of the laptop it would be useful, also if someone knows how to remove the bottom that would be nice. i'm afraid of pushing the plastic and branking it

If you're having that much trouble, maybe the bottom isn't meant to be removed. I've worked on some laptops where the keyboard unlatches and tilts up to expose the components beneath. Perhaps this is such a machine.

From my own experience, use google to see if you can find info on that particular laptop. The Toshiba A75 (I own 2 of em) was very complicated to take apart. I found a website that had nice pictures of each step.

My main point, if you don't know what you are doing, you might want to quit until you have more info. I have managed to fry "daughter" boards not knowing that they were there in the first place.
