    This may seem like a stupid question, but im going to upgrade my wireless card from the b/g to the n standard wireless card and i cannot undo the screw which is fastened to the base of the laptop. All of the other screws on the base of the laptop undo just fine, but the two covering the mini pci bay just dont want to open. I beleive maybe my screwdriver has slightly crossthreaded so could someone suggest the best kind of screwdrivers to open this type of screw fitting?

    Thanks in advance.

    Go into a dollar store or hardware store, and look for one of those small cases with an asorted size of small type of screw drivers. You just need a small Philips (looks like this + ) screw driver, and maybe a small flat-head (looks like this - ) screw driver with tape wrapped around it so you don't scratch everything to hell when you have to pull things lol.

    But to open that panel on the back.. it's simple..just undo the 2 screws and it pops open for you to remove.
