Anyone here with experience in repairing laptops?

I've got a Toshiba Equium M50 laptop that has a faulty CPU fan. I've found a replacement on Ebay but need to remove the old one before I can consider purchasing the replacement.

I've removed all components (battery, memory, drives, etc) and removed all F6 & F8 screws but there is something stopping the base from parting from the mid section & screen. There must be a hidden screw or something I've missed. The solid area is between the memory modules and the battery connector.

Any ideas?

have you removed the keybaord, it could be below that also don't forget that laptop cases also have plastic clips that snap the case together.

I've found the plastic clips but still can't find the last obstacle. Will try and remove the keyboard thanks.

Sometimes a screw is hidden under a product label as a crude form of tamper detection.
