need help with IBM laptop

need to figure out how to dissasemble an IBM 2658 BQU R32 laptop. when i press the power button, nothing happens, but when i press the power button while pressing hard where my left palm lies, it boots and runs great. i know...loose connection, but need to tear the laptop apart, and ibm's site is a pain to navigate. anybody have a link to an external source for the tear down information?


Thanks,

Jamie

600X model? There should be screws under the vinyl/plastic button covers that can be removed and the keyboard and facia panel with the touchpad lifts off.
I may have an IBM service CD around, I;ll take a look and get back to you.
