This looks great. Can you provide more detail on Step 3 (opening the case?) Are there locking tabs that I need to worry about breaking? And if so, how many? Does the cover simply snap back into place?
I need to open my unit simply to disconnect the power to clear the BIOS. I stupidly disabled my USB ports and there is no way to navigate the BIOS without the (USB) keyboard (how freaking dumb is that!)
