You're a dirty, dirty boy!

My Aspire 5003WLMi laptop collects dust, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the bottom cover to get at it. I can get parts out - DVD & hard drives - but that's about it. I've tried all visible screws, and shone lights into all holes. Help?!

I believe if you remove the keyboard there are screws underneath that let you get inside. You will need to lift up your motherboard to get underneath it.

Best answer: This was much harder to find than it should have been. Start on page 46.

FYI, the last comment on this forum thread told me what to search for.
