Aspire SW5 111... Is there a trick/hidden screw to opening it to replace the battery or SSD?  It seems like a plastic pry tool should work, but the bottom/hinge edge is stuck and I'm afraid to force it.  I couldn't find anything about it on the web.

 

Thanks,

JF

    Tere are four screws on the bottom bezel, did you get them out?

    Are they hidden under the four little silver squares that bracket the two hinge sockets? 

    This is what the bottom edge looks like, with those squares marked with ?'s:

    Thanks, the screws were hidden under those four sticky pads (which are a pain to remove without scratching the chassis).  I've been paranoid about using it unplugged because I didn't know how to get in to replace the battery:  now I'm freeeee!  Smiley Very Happy
