     With the front mini-panel out you've got the hardest part done. The
motherboard is held down by a few plastic snaps and one or two nuts.

     First, you need to find the nut or nuts and unscrew them. Then, you
need to squeeze the snaps and lift up. The trick here is to get the
board up past each snap and keep it there while you squeeze and lift at
the other snaps. Then, the board will just lift out (assuming the power
supply cable is disconnected).
