Hello,

I was wondering if anyone new how I could open my laptop (dell inspiron 5160) I have it half opened if you like but there are 2 screws under where the screen is joined to the main board that I can't figure out how to get at them. I can see them but I can't get a screw driver to them. Does anyone know how I go about doing this?

what are u trying to do? u prob can open the screen, take the keyboard out (b/c u have removed all the screws at this point) and work from there.
 
Im gonna clean around the fan, my laptop seems to be over heating. The front half of the laptop is open but I can't access the 2 screws under the screen.

that should give you the knowledge to dissemble everything.
 
i managed with great difficulty to open my old one up but i didnt need to remove the screen. then i spray painted it green. :)
