Erazer X17801 case removal HELP PLEASE

[gazza]

Hi all,

Can anyone shed any light on why its soooo difficult to take the back off the X17801?!!

I have taken 12 screws out, i cant find any more and I've looked for over an hour now and it feels as though its stocking in the middle, I'mscared i will damage it if I forced it open.

I just cant see any other screws holding it in....

On my laptop (medion erazer but different model though) I had to remove the keyboard too in order to gain access to another 4 screws.

thanks, and how do you do that?

i can see that next to 2 of the screw holes there is an icon that looks like a keyboard, almost as though you need to push it forward but wont that break the keyboard?

First check around keyboard for holder marks like the one in pic (above ESC)

See on this video how the keyboard can be removed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joLnSK9N-uU

The lack of marks means different holding system and in that case ignore everything I said.

Many Thanks,

That worked, I had to remove the keyboard panel as you showed which revealed 3 more screws, once removed the back panel come of quite easily!
