Here is the process:
- Undo 4 screws on bottom of chassis.
- Lift and remove the bottom cover and SATA drive bay, unplugging the SATA power and data cables to separate it from board.
- Remove the two screws holding the VGA connector in place.
- Unplug the VGA cable and remove the VGA connector from the board.
- Remove the two screws (at back corners) holding the board in place.
- The front audio connector is what is stopping the board from lifting along its front edge. Pry with small screwdriver between audio connector and USB connectors to free up audio connector and allow the front of the board to be lifted.
- Be careful how you lift board; you don't want the antenna cables coming off the WLAN card (they're hard to get back on).
- Do all this in reverse to put it back together.
Hope this helps,

Looking at the disassembled youtube that you told me, I was able to work with peace of mind.
