    Hi, lately ive been having the common blue flickering and bad performance while in SLI, after a little bit of searching on these forums the causes seems to be either a broken SLI cable or one that isint seated properly. This actually makes sense since its only been happening since coming back from a road trip where the laptop may have been rattled.

    So how do I get access to the vid card? Ive removed the 2 phillips and have access to the HDDs, but how do I open the rest of the laptop? Do I need to remove all the Torx screws?

    Thanks.
