How do I take apart a Dell Inspiron laptop?

Hello,

I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop. The sound is screwed up and the headphone port would only work if I propped the connector up with something, putting stress on the pin inside the computer. After doing this many times, the tip of the headphone connector broke off and is currently living somewhere inside my laptop. I'd like to get it out, but I've never opened up a laptop before and was wondering if there's anything I should know, or should I just start taking out the screws?

(I built a computer once so I know about grounding myself and such, and I know I should take out the battery, but that's about all I know)

Thanks for any replies.
 
youll kill yourself if you take it apart. ive takin apart 2 old broken ones for fun, but they are extremely complicated and things are very weak. wires rip easily, pieces fall out of place, ect...:(

I think open the laptop may void your warranty...
Will it be better to send back for repair or buy some sort of USB sound card?

It will void your warrenty.

If you are going to take apart your laptop be sure to have the manual handy. Take your time and be gental to the parts. They are fragile and small.

Good luck!
