How to dissasemble a Sony vaio PCG-K315B

Anybody know how to dissasemble a sony vaio PCG-K315B?.
I tried it but after removing bottom screws I couldn't take the front panel out (keyboard surface).

My need is to get a clear access inside and be able to clean the dust and any other stuff which is affecting overheating. It is now reaching over 90ºC and forces inmediate shut down of the system.

Hi amuntaner,

I am not familiar with your model but here are some things to look for:

It is necessary on some models to first remove the Keyboard hood (the part above the keyboard) prior to gaining access to the keyboard securing screws. This/these screws are sometimes on the left side of the notebook (in line with the hood) but more usually (with more modern machines) on the top beneath a rubber bung – either to the left or right. Once the necessary screw/s has been removed you should be able to slide the hood to the left or right and then lift out of the way. This assumes that the keyboard hood extends fully to the edge of the notebook.

Alternatively some models have securing screws on the back of the notebook (usually 2)
