    I tried to open bottom panel earlier today to see if I could put spare full size PCI-e wifi instead of preinstalled Intel 6150. After taking off big thumbsize screw, bottom panel is stuck there as if it's still held by some other screws.

    So far I'm baffled as manual showed removing that one screw would be sufficient :/ I tried to put some moderate force to remove the panel but it seemed it would break if I applied more force to it.. :mad:

    Is there certain way to open it or I gotta remove more screws? -.,-

    I used a penny to unscrew it and then use the penny to prop open the lid. It has some catches to keep it snug, but no other screws.
