Solve : compaq laptop disassemble?

1.	Solve : compaq laptop disassemble?
Answer» I am trying to disassemble my compaq 2199us laptop to get to the motherboard, I have taken all the screws off but there are 2 colloums in the middle that are holding it together. Are these clamps or what. The reason I am trying to take it apart is no power , already replaced power cord and battery.If you've replaced the power ADAPTER and the battery, it's the SMALL jack that the power cord plugs into that's bad. Sometimes they break off of the motherboarfd because the manufacturer uses cold SOLDER joints. You'll have to replace this power jack and re-solder it to the motherboard. Sometimes they HIDE screws under the keyboard, under the hard drive bay, memory bay, etc...check for those first.
