I gaave it a good shot, but I was beaten.
I took out every screw possible but could not get the mother (board) out.
There seems to be some trick to popping the front cover off. where the DVD buttons and ard reader are. Actually that part moved, it was the part by the front USB reader that was hung up. I am sure there are at least 2 final screws up there tthat would at leaset allow the MB to be lifted enough to get the tuner card out. It is frustrating, as they seem to have built the computer around the tuner card. and there is no reason the back pannel could not just screw off for access to the tuner.
If the back panel of tin wwould comee off it would be easy. but this seems to be spot welded on, I considered cutting it, but did not want to get metal filings all inside the box. Cutting with shears would mangle it and since my wife paid for it and claims it as hers, I dare not alter the cosmttics even if they are in te back and not seen
If anyone knows the secret handshake to get this appart I would appretiate it.
I know I could use a USB tuner, but I was trying to maintain the "all in one" look. RE: wife and cosmetics.
