    Hi, In a previous thread, someone asked about upgrading the CPU In the x460, and one other user (eg2009) replied that they had done it. I haven't had much success myself taking the X460 apart, the top left corner of the bottom case does not want to dislodge, and I didn't want to break anything, so I just stopped there. Putting it back together was a pain too as the keyboard and mouse connector cables were impossibly short and difficult to reposition, even with some specific tools. I tried contacting the user, but he doesn't accept PMs. Anyone else have any luck?

    Can anyone come up with a FAQ or guide with pictures explaining how to take it apart successfully and upgrade parts, and then put it back together again? I would really, really appreciate it (the stock p7350 cpu is god awful slow)!
