toughbook cf-w4 harddrive disassembly help

I seem to have been volunteered to help a (blind) friend with a dead toughbook cf-w4 get some files off her disk. The disk is probably good as the machine seemed to have a power supply problem. Having done this for a number of Dell and HP laptops as well as Macs (I work in IT but mostly with mainframes), I figured this would be easy. Silly me. So, could someone please point me at the disassembly instructions for the CF-W4? I checked the sticky posts on this forum and I didn't see the CF W4 service manual and the user manual that I found doesn't seem to have the disassembly instructions. We'd really appreciate it. Even though the machine is dead, I really don't want to destroy it. Also, I'm hoping I can just stick the disk in a standard USB-to-ATA adapter. If the disk will run off of 5v, I would think this should work. Can anyone confirm this?

I'll check back here or I can be reached at rick (dot) kovalcik (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks again.

 

email sent...please post if you got the attachment,,,

 

Got it. Thanks. Will check it out later after work.

 

For the record that helped get me started and I was eventually able to get the disk out and files off it using a standard PATA to USB converter. Unfortunately, that manual is for the CF-W4-H model and we had a CF-WF-G (or backwards) which are different (There is no disk door on the -G and I had to take the entire bottom off the case.)

 

That's why it is always best to post the full model number. G is a MK1 and the H is MK2.

I just sent you one for the CF-W4 G
