Hmmm no hatch on the bottom,, guess we'll have to take off the top. Well there's the HDD I think, I can just see the spindle label though. It must be UNDER the motherboard? Will have to remove that too I guess... Ummm ok where is it? Oh you have GOT to be kidding me! They actually bolted it to the underside of the motherboard...
