| - | This system can also be expanded with the Toshiba ISA expansion chassis that allows installation of a 8-bit and 16-bit ISA expansion cards. Hence, you can purchase an XT-IDE adapter to add a hard drive, such as the XT-CF-MINI or XT-CF-Lite card to add a Compact Flash card as a hard drive. They usually run for $40-$60. You can find them on eBay.

| To open the computer, flip the computer upside down. From the front, remove three screws. From the back, under the carry handle, you will see two more screws. There are five screws total to be removed from the bottom of the case. | To open the computer, flip the computer upside down. From the front, remove three screws.

| Near to where the shield was screwed in, you will now see three more screws holding the top half of the case (with the plasma panel) to the chassis. Once the screws are removed, you will now have access to the rest of the system by moving the top cover and display assembly out of the way. | Near to where the shield was screwed in, you will now see three more screws holding the top half of the case (with the plasma panel) to the chassis.

| + | The display panel front bezel is held by two screws. The two screws will be located under the sticker that covers the power, HDD, FDD and keyboard LEDs. The screws are close to the edge, so you should be able to use a flat shimmy or a dull but flat knife to carefully separate it. You don't need to remove the whole sticker, just enough to reveal the two screws. I've done this to both my T3100e's, and there is almost no damage if you do it right. Do not pull or bend the sticker at any time to avoid damaging it. Just slip the shimmy under it and push the shimmy toward the middle so it separates. | ||

| + | In this video you can see the process on a T3200SX, which has a similar setup. Doing it one handed while taking video, the shimmy slipped, but I hope you get the idea. Also, the tool I'm using is [[https://www.ifixit.com/products/jimmy|iFixit Jimmy]] | ||

| + | Once you remove the two screws, the bezel is ready to come off. Open the screen lid all the way, and pull on the bezel from the bottom. The bezel should easily separate allowing you to access the rest of the display assembly. | ||
