    Title explains all. Is there a Dell guide on how to open up the new laptops, i.e. the screen area so I can paint/mod?

    Thx.

    Don't know about dell's but you may try posting for service info on the dell forum. There are so many people there that someone has to have a service manual showing disassembly.

    Fingers in between lcd and bezel...push out and twist the out side away from lid.

    They do not pop out like most.

    They are a bit different then most bezels...but your persistence should pay off.

    ....but they are nothing compared to removing the bezel from a Mac Book Pro.
