Hello All: Has anyone had the "opportunity" to take apart a Hitachi model 3745 sub-notebook to get at the internal hard disk drive? It is a Visionbook Traveler 3000 series. It is not obvious were to pull, pry, unscrew or otherwise disassemble the unit to remove the hard drive. Normally there are hard drive upgrade instructions on manufacturer's web sites or user manuals. No luck in this instance. We contacted Hitachi and it took several days to finally be told they release their maintenance instructions only to authorized service centers. When we first called we had been told for several days that they could not refer us to tech support because the maintenance computer system was down so this has been an exercise in tech-support futility. We did locate a Southern California authorized service center that claims to be able to take the system apart for us, but I'm hoping someone can save me the trouble because I'm not convinced they have ever seen this particular model.
