Allan..
you need to remove the top cover/display unit, then the small bezel
between the display and keyboard, then keyboard assembly..
THEN you can start on the guts of the machine..
i have a 760CD that has so many holes in the case that you can see the
guts..
still works like a champ.. :-)
tough machine..!
