Now comes the only tricky part:<BR />have to remove the speaker's panel... There are four small spring-operated "latches". One is at the ESC key, one at the right side of F5 key, one at the left side of the F11 key and the last is at the Del Key. If you press those keys down, you'll find them easily... Just use a suitable screwdriver to push them toward the LCD and gently lift the panel same time. Nothing around them so no worry to fu... err, damage anything if you don't use high force, even the LCD cable runs under it from the right to the left... A flat cable goes to the main switch of the speaker, so when lift up the panel, watch this.<BR />After this just remove all the screws you see, and it falling apart <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ua/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /><BR />Sorry about this crap, I had no idea I can't use our satellite network... or maybe the server is down....<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 Dec 2005 12:42:15 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/cleaning-taking-apart-my-vaio-pcg-fr215h/m-p/5062#M101875 condrix 2005-12-07T12:42:15Z Re: Cleaning (taking apart) my VAIO PCG-FR215H https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/cleaning-taking-apart-my-vaio-pcg-fr215h/m-p/5064#M101876 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Ok, I managed somehow to get in, so you'll find the text and pictures on<BR /><A href="http://condrix.fw.hu" target="_blank">http://condrix.fw.hu</A><BR />under the English version, somewhere in the menu...<BR />Comments would be appreciated...<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Dec 2005 07:12:47 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/cleaning-taking-apart-my-vaio-pcg-fr215h/m-p/5064#M101876 condrix 2005-12-08T07:12:47Z Re: Cleaning (taking apart) my VAIO PCG-FR215H https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/cleaning-taking-apart-my-vaio-pcg-fr215h/m-p/5066#M101877 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Excellent guide<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Dec 2005 11:53:20 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/cleaning-taking-apart-my-vaio-pcg-fr215h/m-p/5066#M101877 kee-lo_ 2005-12-08T11:53:20Z
