===== Part 7 =====
Now open the lid and press these (view from inside, marked with the screwdriver) zwo notches on each side of the hinge.
On the left side (cooler outlet) and at the middle front you will find some small "snap-lock"-notches, which will give way, when using your fingernails with patience and always carefully!
You will now notice that the lid-frame connection seems to be unstable. IT IS! Handle with care or you might rip out one of those now unsecured hinges!!!
Now you should be able to take off the keyboard without any resistence. (if there is: some srews are still in position!
Above you can see the the keyboard-unit lifted up. It is connected with one cable, that leads the wires for the fingerprintreader, the mousepad, the speakers, the soundcard and the soundjacks, the AV-panel and the keyboard. Unplug the cable at the motherboard's jack.
Now to the drives. Open the DVD-drive using the pin and slide it out.
remove the two screws (the fat-black type) in the upper right (marked by the screwdrivers)
there is again a notch, where there is written "sus" on the metal frame
Now two screws at the bottom, the left one holds the hard-disk-frame.
Now two at the USB-Board
This here is the connection from the LAN-jack to the LAN-adaptor. DAMN! I ordered Gigabit, and here you see: unshielded twisted pair *ROFL*
Beneath the USB-Panel we find the WLAN-card. You might notice that there is a lot of space for another device when necessary.
In the upper right we find the Tuner. (after removing the hard disk and flapping the DVD-drive to the left. -it looked to dangerous to take off those cables!)
Remove the black screws at the left and right (holding the platina and the plug) and then the silver ones in the upper and lower right/left.
Now we have enough space to twist the unit around.
One makro of the connectors
and one of the device itself
OK that's it for this time. Now i will search for an international tuner to build it in there. There's lot of space around it and all cables are connected with standard-plugs.
When putting everything back together, don't mix up the screws and check if the fan is running sufficiently (use a whet finger to check the air outlet).
After giving the whole setup a clean and a polish I have a picture here of my keyboard...
Looks older than a year, but in fact it is only 5 month old!!!
