Sound advice, but too late!

With the V1250, you don't open the case, any more than you do to
replace the memory. You remove one screw and slide out the
drive (if you've ever replaced the drive on a Dell Latitude or
Inspiron or a Fujitsu Point 510, you know what I mean). If
you're not envisioning something like the older IBM ThinkPads,
where you had to get into the belly of the machine, correct me.

I was planning on restoring the machine to factory conditions
before sending it in for service, anyway. Don't want my nice
extras to be misplaced, and just in case the info I got was
wrong...
