Hi there!

Sorry if this question has been asked earlier but I've got a little problem.

I own a Toshiba Satellite 1620 CDS laptop and I have now bought a new
harddrive to upgrade the way too small standard drive of 4.3 gigabytes.

I've loosened all the screws at the bottom of the unit but I can't lift the
lid off.
Are there any other hidden screws or is there an other way to enter the
chassis to get physical access to the hard drive?  I've read that in some
models you simply have to lift the keyboard and you have access, but after
loosening all screws, I simply can't seem to open or lift anything...

Thanks in advance!
