sorry to be a pain...
but thanks for all your help, my brother came along after one try he managed to do it (FYI: i was amazed to find countless number of hairs under the keyboard, due to the stress this has caused me (or the hair loss phase im going through *lol)) but its all sorted now...
... however, he has now gone out and i have just upgraded the RAM lets hope there is no problems with that stick now...
if any one else has the same problem i had, my brother said before he went, the left hinge/latch by caps lock wasn't budging so he wiggled the one by F1 F2 and the keyboard popped up..
Thanks for your help once again
