I've spent way more time than i should trying to get this mother board out.
HP Pavilion ZE1000.
I've unscrewed every screw there is. But it just wont come out. Yet i see videos of people taking out their laptops(Although different brand) with ease.
I've tried to google for my HP and i tried the HPsite. The closest i can find to taking apart the laptop is for ZE2000 which has a TOTALLY DIFFERENT motherboard.
This is as far as i gotten.

Seriously, did HP like Glue the motherboard to the Case?
I can lift up the Bottom but its near the top where the Broken Power connector that wont come out.
This is what i need to do and why i'm taking apart my laptop.

But i at least need to get access to my motherboard. Is there some sort of trick to getting this sucker out? I have alot of experience working with desktop PC's but Laptops are another story. My laptop experiance is practically 0. I got this for free from my uncle since the power got broken off and hes not under warranty anymore. But overall everything still works with the exception of the Power connector.
And i really did try searching for guides for my laptop. but its seems none exists. And I really question why even the HP site doesnt even have one for this laptop.

My guess is that you missed a screw

Actually, i just solved my problem just now.
Every other laptop disassembly guide/video i saw never had to remove those VGA bolts. I figured i'd try for giggles and it turns it those things were holding in my laptop.
Well, Hopefully this thread might help someone in the future.
Note:thats not actually from my laptop, thats just a random pic i got from the internet. But it works for what i had to remove.
