i'm not sure how this started, most likely a drop, but occasionally a spring will appear underneath my screen, and sliding becomes difficult. it seems i can get the spring back in place by putting downward pressure on the screen when sliding, but this only works for so long. i cant imagine the slide portion is difficult to remove, but does anyone have any advice on this issue? thanks.

That is one of the springs that hold the keyboard open, don't try to pull it out. With the slide open you should see the 2 springs on the backside of the screen. To take it apart you need to go in through the battery compartment. There is about 3 levels to get thhrough before you get to the screen. About 10 months ago I replaced the screen, I found avideo walk through on youtube that helps.

thanks guys. i havent actually done anything with this yet. a couple days ago that spring just fell out, and nothing at all seems to be different. i saved the spring in case i feel like putting it back in, in which case ill post on it.
