It is similar but Dell has made it a little easier in the
2650. I am going to ask a dumb question, here but explain why.
As someone who has no usable vision, I have done this
sort of technical work complete with small parts and the need to
be gentle with them, for almost 50 years. The idea is to make it
better, not destroy it.
In the video, Mr. Lord mentions being able to lift up the
thin panel containing the keyboard to reach the under side of the
keyboard. Does the 2650 also have the touch pad and two large
mouse buttons between it and the edge that normally would be
closest to you?
The 2600 has as much room devoted to those items
as is taken up by the keyboard whose top row is maybe two
finger-widths from the lower edge of the screen. If you tried to
lift it up high enough to reach the bottom of the keyboard and
remove the screws, I think you would hear the sounds of
over-stressed plastic cracking. Those two remaining screws
blocked by the bottom of the screen, if out, probably would let
you tilt it up, being mindful that there are several fragile
cables that shouldn't be stressed.
At least he did tell folks to remove the battery. There
are probably some who wouldn't even give that lithium hydroxide
bomb a second thought until it gave them 3rd-degree burns. This
stuff is never really off unless all batteries are out.
I take it that Arctic Silver is thermal grease. Ya'
gotta' have it.
