I Can't Pry Open My Laptop!

[asianboy]

Seriously, my Sony Vaio laptop has a retarded design. Instead of having different, individual panels for the different parts of the computer, I needed to pry open the entire underside of the laptop just so that I can clean the heat sink. And this is where the problem arises: I just can't pry it open. No matter how hard I pull with my fingers or with my screwdriver, the panel won't come out.

Yes, I have made sure that I have taken every relevant screws out. I'm afraid that if I pulled harder the computer would break down.

I am very angry right now; here I am trying to take care of my computer, and it's not letting me in . Seriously, I am trying to cool off right now; otherwise, I might end up smashing the laptop during my fit of anger, an action that I would definitely regret later on.

Anyways, sorry for the rant guys.
Should I contine pulling harder on the panel, or should I just stop for today?

Taking apart a tabtop is pure hell. Have fun. Once you get tpast that you'll need to take out every single part in your way to the heatsink. Try taking out every screw in the back that designated by your manual as supporting the back panel, but keeps these at hand and number them according to their position as they are often different sizes.

Oh no, opening a laptop that is stuck is horrible. You may have to hurt it...

Take it to a laptop repair shop, they may know

Repair maybe?: https://eservice.sony.com/webrma/web/index.do

Or speak to them?: http://support.sony-europe.com/index/en_GB.html

Personally I never want to have to take a lappy apart, I hear they are spring loaded noob traps. Even qualified repair people wind up with spare screws after repairs...

I also wouldn't want to trust a 3rd party repairer.
