    An electric shaver inside my Thougbook CF-T5?

    I'm the happy owner of two CF-T5, both 1.2Ghz.
    One of those toughbook is currently doing a very annoying noise, coming from the screen, just like an electric shaver.
    This noise is coming only when the screen is in the "graphic" mode, and at the highest brightness the noise (?) is really boring.
    As I understand, the noise is certainly coming from the inverter.
    I'm ready to make an intervention, or to change this item, but I have to first look at it to see what is really wrong. Does somebody have an idea?
    Anyway I have to open the screen and look inside, and it seems not very easy (or at least, straight).
    Does somebody an idea where to find some information/advices/tutorial how to open and unmount the computer and the screen ?
    Thanks
