HP W2007 opening the case???

[romansroad]

Okay, this is like asking for directions while driving or for help in the hardware store......

I grew weary of repairing the Samsungs and Dells, so thought I'd branch out.
I picked up this HP, and now am stupidly trying to open the case. I searched the threads, and see a couple of mentions on the guts, but none on how to pop it open. I discovered (after breaking a plastic post) that the black vented back is attached to the front with screws from the front.

Obviously, I'm missing a key bit of info here!

I'm hesitant to pry too hard, and can't seem to tell where to start.

Any help would be most appreciated.....would love to see an exploding diagram if anyone had one as well. Once opened, we'll see what's afoot with the electronics.

Okay, my 14 y.o son just figured it out.

For the next guy, I used an angled pry bar, and went around the case separating the front black bezel from the silver mid case. The black vented rear section is screwed to the silver mid section.

Ugh.

Now, on to the fun part!
