    Hi there

    Just wondering if someone could tell me how to remove the snap on cover.

    I can get the top part off, well unclipped but not so sure about the rest. I really dont want to force it and then break the cover!

    Thanks

    I tried replacing my Toshiba Dynabook LCD and I had to use some force to pry off the outside screen cover. Use a small screw driver, or plastic wedge to get into the crack. All I did was turn the screw driver using your wrist only, basically like turning a door knob. At least on the Toshiba the outside covering was very plyable and would require quite a bit of force to actually break it...that being said, be careful regardless. I am not sure how the Dell's are.

    Hi there

    Thanks figured it out - I was just worried initially that I would crack / ben hte snap on cover.

    Just "unclip" the front part with the front of the notebook facing away from you.
