I believe Dell cases are generally released with one screw in the middle and a latch on each end. Undo the thumb screw and pull back while pressing on each latch. It may not come off easily so you will have to "bang and push" it off. Don't worry about damaging it, you won't as long as you don't put your fist through it.
Any luck with this, whttiger46?

Why didn't I get this one? I told him how Dells are generally done.
Asker last logged in April, 2002, not since.
jlauster posted the link with that info first, but Asker chose not to respond and update anyone; inconclusive what worked and what didn't. Plus you responded with "I believe".
