Mark and The Other Ben totally rock! You guys gave me the key insight into getting my laptop completely open.
For the record, the laptop is an HP Pavilion ze1250. And, just as you guys suggested, there was a small bevel I could pry up with a screwdriver. From there, the screws just started appearing and it was trivial to open up. And yes, also as you guys suggested, to fully open this up, I needed to take out the keyboard.
Check out the photos below as I managed to crack open the mystery.
Now, there's only one itty, bitty, tiny detail. Will I ever get it back together? Oh well, it wasn't working in the first place...so how much damage could I do.
Mark and Ben, I owe both of you guys a beer. Thanks!
Congrats! I have about 10 extra screws in my desk drawer from putting my last one back together. :-)
