    Blair,
    I never owned a W8 so I don't have first hand experience.
    Maybe I can find a video.

    If it's like the 5 series it has several different length screws. Put one in the wrong hole and it would scratch a cd/dvd or won't even let it go in.

    Think CF-F8, all different length screws and the need to remove the keyboard. That's the big deal as the keyboard is firmly taped down and flimsy. It gets bent and it's hard to reinstall it and make it look good. The power and wifi switch are a pain when closing the case back up.
