“HDD/SSD upgrade The screws on the back come out fairly easily, but something seems to be keeping the back plate stuck in the middle of the laptop. All edges come up cleanly...just the middle doesn't. Don't want to damage or bend the back plate. Is there a screw I'm missing somewhere near the middle? There's no documentation anywhere on this thing, including ASUS website, and upgrades aren't in the manual.”

This machine is NOT consumer friendly, Asus doesn't support any user modifications. You must send it into Asus to have anything done on it. Or your warranty is void:P Blah blah blah.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No.. you just have to pull it off evenly if that makes sense. It does feel like you are going to break it but its got fasteners in the middle you just have to get to pop out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Wondering if you ever figure out how to remove the back. You said it appeared to be connected in the middle but all the screws were out.....did you try sliding the cover side ways or up and down? Don't know if this is the answer but on other laptops I have that is how the backs are removed.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is no screw or anything. You just got to pry it hard in the middle to open up. No biggy.
