HP Pavilion ze5000 Laptop - I am trying to remove the hard drive. There's two screws that I removed. I pulling at the plastic hatch it only bends from the bottom. It feels like it might snap off at the top if I attempt to pull harder (see bottom image and how the screw driver is pulling it out a bit). Anyone have any ideas how to pull this HD out?

Either there is a 3rd hidden screw or the panel slides away from the chassis a bit before you can pull it out.
 
Geeze people

Swallow your pride. . . (you can't know everything)

Utilize your resources (like getting the breakdown instructions).

Optimize your efforts. (So what if I use automated tools rather than manual reg edits? . . . . for me it is more efficient)

Do excellent, timely work. (and get awesome referrals).

And get paid.
