Yes, indeed that also applies to the Satellite 5100, as I found out
the evening when I was poking around with the screwdriver. Underneath
the keyboard, there were a few additional screws that had to be removed
in order to take apart the case.
Thanks to all who responded.
Unfortunately, I didn't find anything like a stuck fan which I could
fix, and the system still seems to have graphics problems. I'll now
put everything back together again, and if that doesn't "magically"
repair the thing (any suggestions for the preferred moon phase for doing
this? ;-) ), I'll probably have to look into getting a replacement.
Kind regards, Jan
