    Hi,

    Any one has any idea to open the casing of Samsung Series 3 Notebook - Model 300V5A? I intend to replace the hdd with ssd, but could only find 1 screw slot for the RAM only. There is no other screw slot that I can find. Appreciate your help. Thanks.

    Probably under the rubber legs. Pull them off.

    Hi,

    I'm facing the same problem..
    I have no idea how to open that laptop. I'd like to replace the wifi card with an intel one.
    I have removed the rubber legs, removed the screws underneath them, but I fail to find any other screws.
    It doesn't "feel" like this is everything that's necessary to open the back cover.
    I tried to pull it off but it's very tight..

    Any help yould be greatly appreciated as I have search the net and also notebookreview for about 3 hours and have found nothing for this notebook :(

    Thank you very much!

    Does anyone know if this is possible, or if there's another samsung model that is very similar so I can search for a disassembly guide with more success maybe?
