Does anyone know where I can find info on how to open a latitude cxi? And maybe a diagram.

Does it have a service tag on it? I didn't find a cxi on the list of notebooks on the Dell Support Site.

My fault. It's a CPx.

That was to basic. I'm looking for instruction/diagram on how to disassemble the laptop.

Just unscrew things and remember where they go

BluesFan · 03-07-2008, 03:41 PM

Have you taken one apart before? Laptops don't just unscrew and open.

I disassembled an HP Omnibook 6000 I just unscrewed what I thought needed to be unscrewed and gently pried pieces out.

What EXACTLY do you want to do to it?

Okay. I tried a different dell and couldn't get it open at all even with all the screws out. It's like it has some snapping clips or something.

Someone told me to remove the internal battery in order to try and reset it.

Does that make sense?

They must be talking about resetting the CMOS battery. What are the symptoms you are experiencing?

Hint: Sometimes there is a plastic part that snaps up just below the screen and some screws are located there. I don't know where the CMOS battery is though.
