I know I’m probably an idiot for asking but I need some instruction on how to get this laptop encasement open to access the harddrive.  I’ve take out the screws at the bottom and can pry the front apart about 1/4” but am afraid I’ll break the plastic by prying any further.

Is there a trick to doing this? 

I dropped the darned thing and the HD started wonking out on me.  It got progressively worse and now I just get the BIOS booting up and then blue death screen - cannot access the recovery wiz.  I’m hoping I just jarred something loose and need to figure it out before sending into Sony repair purgatory!
