		+	As often the main problem is NOT to remove all screws blindly but only
		+	the ones needed, among other to avoid removing bolts and losing nuts
		+	inside the case. So read on for details. Also be extremely careful
		+	when removing cables, since the plugs on the mainboard are very
		+	fragile and easy to break (happened to me).
		+
		+	Remove the keyboard: 2 screws, one on each side of the case.

		+	Remove the plastic part hiding the screen hinge: 2 screws on the back,
		+	then unfold the screen at most.
