Your guess was right, there are catches (a few only, though) around the front of the case, but I had managed to open them already. The thing is now held together by something in the middle, and I cannot see what that might be. I've found some descriptions of similar problems in the web, there, it was suggested that more screws may be underneath the keyboard. I don't know how to remove the keyboard, though. There is no visible mechanism for removing it, so I was expecting that basically, the top part of the case would come off, revealing the keyboard and the other stuff sitting on the lower part of the case -- but perhaps, someone around here knows how to remove the keyboard without (fully) opening the case first? I'll probe around with a little screwdriver tonight... Greetinx, Jan -- +- Jan T.
