    If you have a W3 and you can't find the cover on the bottom for the hard drive, I suggest you don't bother mesing around with it...... There is a cover with 1 screw that looks like it's the size of a hard drive....... it's got a nice rubber foot on it..... that's it.

    Thats right its not easy to remove. You have to put some might into it or rub it gently and whisper in its ear. I hear the second has an effect with dead pixels.
