    knowing my luck my M11x decided to topple off the side of my bed. Luckily nothing broke or cracked. After a few days opening the lid of the laptop felt strange so I inspected the hinge and realized that it was bent slightly. I have no idea how to get to the hinge to check how bad it's bent so I need some help. Is there any tutorials or guides that show me how to open it? I'll include some pictures to emphasize this epic tragedy. :eek:

    oh snap, I am sorry mate. Is there anything you can do? would Dell fix it for you? is it covered under a 1 year warranty?

    Umm Yeah I have the warranty and stuff but I'm not to keen on sending it away for a few weeks to fix something I could do myself, I just don't know how to take it apart :O

    Awesome, where is the other slot? Are they stacked on top of each other?

    Wow, Nice video of the M11x being disassembled. No wonder it takes a while to get delivery when adding bluetooth, the guy in the video had to take out a million screws to get the bluetooth card out. Now I'd like to see a video of them putting it all back together. I never have trouble taking something apart, putting it together is always where the challenge lies - lol !
