    Hi i would like to know how to disassemble my vaio, i can't take the upper part of the case, because below the screen are some screws holding it, just above the power and volume buttons...i really need to open it, my hdd died yesterday, and i can't seem to find any links for this particular model, i just need to know how to get the damn thing off :(

    thanks in advance

    Luckily the service manual for your model is available here.
