    Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to completely disassemble a M11x down to every last screw in a video or picture format. Thank you!

    I might do it as soon as my M11X arrives. Should be under two weeks. I don't have a video cam, but will do it with pictures, highlighting the steps in order. Marking the pics to point out screws ext. Just need some time, but I can do it my first day off when I get the notebook. Hopefully ;)

    DR650SE - good luck it's a pain in the the first time around. I took it apart completely twice in a day b/c i wasn't happy with my work on the CPU paste haha. Basically, everything is taken out of the chassis, the screen taken off from the base. Yeah, it helped I printed out pics to place the parts onto =)

    first time took about an hour and a half to take apart, not to mention putting on TIM and putting back together was easier. Second time around only took like half an hour to get to the CPU/GPU.
