Open Pavillion Notebook Case?

Hi all!

I need to replace the Hard Drive in an HP Pavillion N5425 notebook,
but am having ZERO luck in finding documentation about opening the
case and accessing the drive.

I tried emailing HP support and they sent me to the "service manuals"
I had already seen that are way too basic.

As you know, opening notebooks is alot like a 3D puzzle, and
unfortunately, I'm not so good at puzzles <grin>. At least not
without a manual!

Any pointer/advice would be great!

Thanks.

Additionally at http://www.drivesolutions.com they have a tutorial on
how to remove the HD in these notebooks
http://www.drivesolutions.com/info/a...ewlett-Packard .
Please note there is only I think one HP Notebook that requires any
effort. The rest are you remove the two small rubber plugs to reveal
the screws, remove the screws, slide out the hard drive carefully. The
remove the bracket screw holding in the small HD make sure the
controller adapter is removed and carefully placed on the new Hard
Drive before installing in reverse of removal.

I hope that Helped?
