I'm having some graphics problems with my laptop and I think its a loose connection problem. I've been trying for the past several hours to take the casing of my Tiny 3200 XP notebook, without any success. I have also been searching the net to try and find intstructions on how to do so without any luck. I was wandering if anyone here has managed to get into a tiny laptop or has instructions on how to do so?

Any help would be appreciated.

Usually the cases are snapped together from the inside making it a pain to take apart. Unless you know exactly how to take it apart you can do some serious damage to the case. Cracking is a possiblity.

If I was taking apart a laptop I would unscrew all the visible screws. Then I would find the edges and with a flat head screw driver try to pry the casing apart one side at a time.
 
Thank's for the reply dduardo, I tried opening it yesterday but got scared because I thought I was going to snap the casing :frown: I've arranged to take it into a specialist laptop repair shop after easter (non of the computer repair shops will touch it ).

Thanks again
