    How do I do it?

    I got the base of the laptop ABOUT to come off, near the dvdrw its stuck and near the vga port on the other side

    I was thinking maybe there was screws under the keyboard, theres alittle plastic I can only get removed 10% on each side, I kept trying and ended up bending the plastic too much :mad: I don't want to break it more :confused: :confused: :confused:

    On x200 you have to take DVD drive out to fully remove the base. Because one of the screws is under the dvd drive.

    Judging from your description it may be same with p305.

    I have found the same problem with my P305D-S8828. I want to take the keyboard out & it appears from the guide for the A305 that removing the plastic bezel is all that is necessary. The guide says that the bezel is held on with clips & just snaps off, but I had the same problem about 3" in from each side, it wouldn't budge. Other models have screws from the bottom holding the bezel on. I do not want to disassemble the whole unit to get the kbd. out, because I just want to get rid of the bounciness in the area of the CTRL key. Not worth possibly breaking something else! If you find out how to take the bezel off, please PM me or post it here.
    Thanks
