So I got myself an MSI GL72 the other day after being forced to deal with an 2nd gen i3 for 5 years. I wanted to upgrade its SSD (I have the very slim 250 GB one), so I set out to open it.
As it turns out, I was unable to completely remove the bottom door. The rightmost part of it (when upside down) is very sturdy in comparison to the left side. I had to pull out the CD drive to be able to start removing the clips that hold the back door in place, but I could not finish removing it, being too scared of basically ending up destroying the case.
I could not find a proper disassembly guide - my google skills are probably off - and due to me not having my tools with me, I did not try further to open it by force. I'd appreciate if anyone has any tips, or even has that laptop and managed to pry it open.
Regards,
